Communes of the Martinique department facts for kids
Martinique is a beautiful island in the Caribbean Sea. It is an overseas department of France. This means it is a part of France, even though it is far away from mainland Europe. Think of it like a state or province, but with a special connection to France.
The island is divided into smaller areas called communes. A commune is like a town or a local district. It's the smallest way France divides its land for local government. Each commune has its own mayor and local council that helps run things like schools, roads, and local services.
There are 34 communes in Martinique. Some of these communes are part of a larger group called the Communauté d'agglomération du Centre de la Martinique (CAC). This group was formed in 2001 to help manage services for several communes together, especially around the main city of Fort-de-France.
