At the beginning of this seminar we encountered the word "Territoire". It is important that we define what we mean by "Territoire" in French because the word territory probably has a very different meaning. It's certainly important that we reach a common definition or understanding.
Does the word territoire define a geographical zone, a physical system, or a cultural zone, or political entity? What are the boundaries of a territoire? Is it an open or a closed system? How does the word region relate to the concept of territoire? How are regions and territoires different?
