What is a Commune?
A commune is like a local community or district. Each commune has its own mayor and a local council. They help manage things like local schools, roads, and public services for the people living there. It's a bit like a city or town council in other countries, but on a smaller scale.

Communes in Nièvre
There are 312 different communes in the Nièvre department. These communes vary a lot in size. Some are small, quiet villages, while others are larger towns with more people and services. The original list of communes included details like their special INSEE code (a unique number for each commune) and their postal code.
Working Together: Communauté d'agglomération
Sometimes, several communes decide to work together. They form a group called a Communauté d'agglomération. This means they share services like public transport, waste collection, or economic development projects. It helps them be more efficient and provide better services for everyone. For example, the communes around the city of Nevers have formed such a group to work together.
