A communauté d'agglomération is an administrative division in France, larger than a commune, but smaller than a département.


An urban area that consist of several small cities and their environs, but no large central city, can be organized into a communauté d'agglomération for regional planning purposes. (The metropolitan area of a large city is instead organized into a communauté urbaine).


Communautés d'agglomération include

  • Cergy-Pontoise
  • Communaupole of Lens-Liévin
  • Communauté d'agglomération de l'Artois (Artois Comm.)
  • Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines
