ASSOCIATED COMMUNES OF FRANCE

In France, 'associated communes' (French: ''communes associées'') were created by the Commune Merger Act of July 16, 1971 (also called the ''Marcellin Act''). It permits the formerly independent communes to maintain certain institutions, such as

★ a delegate mayor, a registrar, a criminal investigation officer

★ a mayor's office

★ a community center
On January 1, 2006, there were 730 communes associées in France. Most of those were created within four years after passing the Marcellin Act.
