Abstract
French foresters began to open out onto the outside world towards the end of the 19th century with the 1882 “RTM” law, which integrates the work done by the forestry corps in mountain areas into agriculture. In the footsteps of Georges Fabre in the Aigoual Forest and the Leplaysians between 1890 and 1914, two precursors opened the way towards the new doctrine of urban planning, its parks and gardens first, later extending it to managed and organised spatial planning of the entire country, including rural and montane areas. They were Jean Forestier and Pierre Randet, who in spite of their 35-year age difference, had in common their mountain roots and a taste for town planning, that might have led them to meet. But one was to create first gardens, while the other devoted his energies to spatial planning, including in rural areas, and their paths never crossed
