Abstract
Antevariscan evolution of the Montagne Noire consists of three main st ages: progressive setting of a passive margin at the edge of Gondwana during Cambro-Ordovician times; inversion of the paleogeography as a r esult of distensive movements between late Ordovician and early Devoni an; development of a foreland basin during Devonian-earlier Carbonifer ous (Tournaisian) times and subsequent infilling of this basin during late Visean by thick pre- to synorogenic sediments.
