Corn is a small commune (which is like a small town or village) located in the beautiful south of France. In 1999, about 157 people lived there. Corn is found in the Lot department, which is part of the Midi-Pyrénées region. Another nearby commune, called Roquefort, was joined with Corn.

What is a Commune?

A commune in France is the smallest way the country is divided up for local government. Think of it like a small town or a village with its own local council and mayor. Each commune manages its own local services, like schools, roads, and community events. France has thousands of communes, and they are an important part of how the country is organized.

Where is Corn Located?

Corn is situated in the southern part of France. This area is known for its lovely countryside, historic villages, and often sunny weather. The Lot department, where Corn is found, is famous for its rivers, caves, and delicious local food. It's a popular place for tourists who enjoy nature and history.

History of Corn

Like many small French communes, Corn has a long history, even if it's not widely known. These villages often grew from ancient settlements. The mention that the commune of Roquefort was attached to Corn means that at some point, these two local areas were combined into one administrative unit. This often happens to make local government more efficient.
