About Trois-Rivières

How Trois-Rivières Was Formed
Trois-Rivières is a fairly new commune. It was created on January 1, 2019. This happened when three smaller towns decided to join together. These towns were Pierrepont-sur-Avre, Contoire, and Hargicourt.
When they merged, Pierrepont-sur-Avre became the main part, or "seat," of the new Trois-Rivières. This means it's where the main offices and services for the commune are located.
