What is a Commune?
A commune is like a small local area or town in France. It's the smallest way that France divides up its land for local government. Think of it as a town or village that has its own mayor and local council. These councils help manage things like schools, roads, and local services for the people living there.
Where is Volgelsheim Located?
Volgelsheim is found in the eastern part of France. It's in a region called Grand Est, which is close to the border with Germany. The Haut-Rhin department, where Volgelsheim is, is known for its beautiful landscapes, including parts of the Vosges Mountains and the Rhine River. Being in eastern France means it has a mix of French and German influences, which you can sometimes see in the local culture and even the language.
