What are Communes?

In France, a commune is the smallest area for local government. Think of it like a town, city, or even a small village. Each commune has its own mayor and local council. They manage things like local schools, roads, and public services. France has thousands of communes, and they are an important part of how the country is organized.

The Meuse département is one of the 101 départements in France. It's known for its beautiful countryside, forests, and historical sites. The main city in Meuse is Bar-le-Duc, and another important city is Verdun. The Meuse River is a big part of the area's geography and history.
