Given the ecological richness of the mountain and the fact that it is still the place of uncultivated or built areas (in the absence of wild beings), mountain ranges are particularly attractive areas for the development of commercial gatherings. The Pyrenees are no exception to the rule. However, they have their specificities that give a particular color to the picks that are made there. Indeed, floristic diversity but also the distribution of flora in space and population density are central elements in taking into account an economy to be developed locally around this harvesting activity. On the one hand, the distribution of land determines access to the resource, it is different to harvest gentian in the Pyrenees where the estives are mainly communal and state, and, for example, in the Massif Central where the land is owned by many individuals with whom we do not contract in the same way. On the other hand, we do not access the meadows of altitude in the Pyrenees in the same way as in the Alps, which again determines access to the resource and its delivery to processing centers. Such examples, of a practical nature, are numerous. Finally, beyond the factual and technical aspects specific to the Pyrenees, it is also important to grasp the importance of perceptions (between bucolism and looting) generated.
