Communes of the Cher department facts for kids
This article is about the different towns and villages, called communes, in the Cher department in France. A department is like a county or a region in other countries. The Cher department has 290 of these communes!
Each commune is a local area with its own mayor and local government. They are the smallest divisions of France that have their own elected council. Think of them as individual towns or villages, each with its own unique character and history.
Some of these communes are part of a special group called a Communauté d'agglomération. For example, the one around Bourges was created in 2003. This means they work together on things like public transport or waste management, which helps them share resources and improve services for everyone living there.
