Colligny is a small village located in north-eastern France. It is part of the Moselle area, which is a "département" (like a county or region) in France.

What is a French Commune?

Why do Communes Merge?

Sometimes, smaller communes decide to merge. This can happen for several reasons:

• To share resources more effectively.
• To improve public services.
• To have a stronger voice in regional decisions.
• To manage their population and land better.
