This map shows where the Eure département is located in France.

France is divided into special areas called départements (say: day-part-MOHN). Think of them like counties or regions in other countries. Each département is then split into smaller areas called communes (say: koh-MOON). These are like towns or villages.

The Eure département is located in the northern part of France. It's named after the Eure River, which flows through it. This area is known for its beautiful countryside, historic towns, and charming villages.

There are 675 communes in the Eure département. Each commune has its own local government that helps manage things like schools, roads, and local services for the people living there.

Sometimes, several communes work together in groups called Communautés d'agglomération (say: koh-moo-noh-TAY dah-gloh-may-rah-SYOHN). These groups help them share resources and work on bigger projects that benefit everyone. For example, in Eure, there are a few of these groups:

  • CAE (Communauté d'agglomération d'Évreux): This group was started in 2000 and includes communes around the city of Évreux.
  • CAL (Communauté d'agglomération Seine-Eure): This group began in 2001 and includes communes near Louviers and the Seine River.
  • CAV (Communauté d'agglomération des Portes de l'Eure): This group was created in 2003 and covers communes around Vernon.

The list below shows some of the communes in the Eure département. Each commune has a special INSEE code (like an ID number) and a postal code.
