Gabion for the production of structures, forming a container for a filling material, this gabion comprising - a gridded base (4; 50; 60; 69; 80; 90) extending essentially in one plane and at least one lateral face delimiting the container, the gridded base being formed by first wires extending parallel to a direction X interlaced with second wires extending parallel to a direction Y which is not collinear with the direction X, the first wires being spaced apart in the direction Y so as to form: • one or two rows (32, 34; 54, 56; 62; 70; 84; 86; 92) of meshes, termed "carrying" rows, intended to be each traversed by a lifting strap (20, 22) attached around a distribution bar to allow the gabion filled with the filling material to be raised, the one or two carrying rows (32, 34; 54, 56; 62; 70; 84, 86; 92) being symmetrical with respect to a plane of symmetry, the plane of symmetry being parallel to the direction X, perpendicular in the plane in which the gridded base extends and passing through the centre of gravity of the gabion, and • parallel rows (36; 52; 68) of meshes, termed "non-carrying" rows, at least one of these non-carrying rows separating the two carrying rows (32, 34; 54, 56; 62; 70; 84, 86; 92) when the gabion comprises two carrying rows, characterized in that each carrying row (32, 34; 54, 56; 70; 84, 86; 92) or the two non-carrying rows (64, 66) situated immediately to the right and to the left of each carrying row differ visually from the other non-carrying rows (36; 52; 68) of the gridded base (4; 50; 60; 69; 80; 90). - a gridded base (4; 50; 60; 69; 80; 90) extending essentially in one plane and at least one lateral face delimiting the container, the gridded base being formed by first wires extending parallel to a direction X interlaced with second wires extending parallel to a direction Y which is not collinear with the direction X, the first wires being spaced apart in the direction Y so as to form: • one or two rows (32, 34; 54, 56; 62; 70; 84; 86; 92) of meshes, termed "carrying" rows, intended to be each traversed by a lifting strap (20, 22) attached around a distribution bar to allow the gabion filled with the filling material to be raised, the one or two carrying rows (32, 34; 54, 56; 62; 70; 84, 86; 92) being symmetrical with respect to a plane of symmetry, the plane of symmetry being parallel to the direction X, perpendicular in the plane in which the gridded base extends and passing through the centre of gravity of the gabion, and • parallel rows (36; 52; 68) of meshes, termed "non-carrying" rows, at least one of these non-carrying rows separating the two carrying rows (32, 34; 54, 56; 62; 70; 84, 86; 92) when the gabion comprises two carrying rows, • one or two rows (32, 34; 54, 56; 62; 70; 84; 86; 92) of meshes, termed "carrying" rows, intended to be each traversed by a lifting strap (20, 22) attached around a distribution bar to allow the gabion filled with the filling material to be raised, the one or two carrying rows (32, 34; 54, 56; 62; 70; 84, 86; 92) being symmetrical with respect to a plane of symmetry, the plane of symmetry being parallel to the direction X, perpendicular in the plane in which the gridded base extends and passing through the centre of gravity of the gabion, and • parallel rows (36; 52; 68) of meshes, termed "non-carrying" rows, at least one of these non-carrying rows separating the two carrying rows (32, 34; 54, 56; 62; 70; 84, 86; 92) when the gabion comprises two carrying rows,
