What Was a Commune?

In France, a commune is the smallest type of administrative area. Think of it like a local town or village with its own local government. Each commune has a mayor and a council who help manage local services and make decisions for the people living there. Deux-Évailles was one of these small local areas before it merged with its neighbors.

Where Was Deux-Évailles Located?

Deux-Évailles was situated in the western part of France. It was part of the Mayenne department, which is known for its green landscapes and historic towns. The Mayenne department is located within the larger Pays de la Loire region, a beautiful area famous for its castles and the Loire River.

How Did Deux-Évailles Change?

In 2019, Deux-Évailles and three nearby communes decided to join together. This kind of merger happens when smaller towns or villages combine to form a larger, single municipality. This can help them share resources, improve services, and work together more efficiently. The new combined municipality was named Montsûrs, after one of the larger towns involved in the merger. This means Deux-Évailles no longer exists as a separate commune but is now part of the bigger Montsûrs area.
