A communauté de communes (French: [kɔmynote də kɔmyn], "community of communes") is a federation of municipalities (communes) in France. It forms a framework within which local tasks are carried out together. It is the least-integrated form of intercommunality.
On January 1, 2007, there were 2,400 communautés de communes in France (2,391 in metropolitan France and 9 in the overseas départements), with 26.48 million people living in them. At the 1999 census the population of the communautés de communes ranged from 163,221 inhabitants (Communauté de communes du Grand Parc, gathering Versailles and neighboring communes) to 168 inhabitants (Communauté de communes de la Vallée du Toulourenc, Vaucluse département).
