French peasants were the smallest socio-economic group in France until the mid-20th century. The word peasant, while having no universally accepted meaning, is used here to describe subsistence farming throughout the Middle Ages, often smallholders or those paying rent to landlords, and rural workers in general. As industrialization developed, some peasants became wealthier than others and drove investment in agriculture. Rising inequality and financial management in France during the late 18th century eventually motivated peasants to revolt and destroy the feudal system. Today peasants could no longer be said to exist as an economic or social group in France. although many attempts have been made to honor and preserve this traditional way of life.

As industrialization developed, some peasants became wealthier than others and drove investment in agriculture.

  • La condition paysanne varie selon les pays et l'époque. Sous l'Ancien Régime, la condition paysanne est règlementée de façon rigoureuse. Il existe également une hiérarchie interne à la paysannerie. La condition paysanne évolue à la suite de la Révolution française et de l'abolition des privilèges. Un changement important intervient surtout au XIXe siècle avec la révolution industrielle, quand les machines se perfectionnent et deviennent centrales dans la production agricole. On ne peut parler de « métier de paysan » au sens administratif du terme, le terme ne figurant jamais dans les listes des métiers de la terre. Toutefois, de nombreux professionnels à travers le monde et notamment en France revendiquent d'être des paysans dans un sens positif lié à un souci environnemental. (fr)
