Welcome to the Rhône department in France! This area is known for its beautiful landscapes and many towns and villages. In France, these towns and villages are called communes. Think of a commune as a local area with its own government, like a small city or a village. The Rhône department is part of a larger country called France.

This page lists all 293 communes found in the Rhône department. Each commune has a special code called an INSEE code, which is like a unique ID number for that place. They also have a postal code, which helps mail get to the right address.

Some of these communes are part of bigger groups called "agglomeration communities." These groups work together on things like public transport or waste management.

• COURLY stands for the Agglomeration community of Greater Lyon. This group was created in 1966 and includes many communes around the big city of Lyon.
