Baud Communauté

What Baud Communauté does

Baud Communauté is a French public intercommunal authority (communauté de communes / Établissement public de coopération intercommunale) that coordinates and delivers a broad portfolio of public services across six communes in the Morbihan department of Brittany — Baud, Guénin, La Chapelle-Neuve, Melrand, Pluméliau-Bieuzy, and Saint-Barthélemy — serving a territory of 248 km² and approximately 16,461 residents. Its mandate spans delegated competencies including waste management and déchèteries, urban planning (consolidated through an in-progress PLUi), water and sanitation, school transport and mobility, early childhood provision, cultural programming, sports facilities, tourism, and economic development. Operational assets include the Centre Aquatique Tri'eau (sports and leisure pools, splash pad, outdoor solarium), the École de Musique et de Danse (388 enrolments, 154 hours of weekly tuition including 25 in-school hours), two multi-accueils — Les Baud'Com'tout (18 places, Baud) and Les Plum'mignons (24 places, Pluméliau-Bieuzy) — for children aged 10 weeks to 3 years, the LAEP 'Petite Bulle' parent-child space, a France Services single-window administrative point, and an Energy Renovation Counselor backed by CDHAT.

The business model is a public-sector funding stack rather than commercial revenue: the communauté is financed through local taxation (taxe foncière, CFE), state and departmental dotations, and government grants, supplemented by user fees on chargeable services. Pricing varies by service — aquatic centre entry at €4.90 adults / €2.80 children, multi-accueil fees calculated on the CNAF income scale, music and dance tuition under the national arts education framework, and ticketed cultural events via the billetterie.baud-communaute.bzh platform. Customer segments are captive: general resident households, families with young children, local businesses seeking economic development support, and citizens needing administrative assistance (CAF, MSA, France Travail, taxes). The digital infrastructure is a standard WordPress CMS (HTML5, CSS, JavaScript) hosted on OVH and managed by Créasit in Nantes, achieving 86% RGAA 4 accessibility compliance, complemented by an interactive GIS plan (sig.baud-communaute.bzh), MailPoet newsletters, a 79+ entry public contact directory, and a YouTube channel. Governance rests with an elected council led by Présidente Pascale GILLET, who is also Mayor of Baud; no private ownership, parent company, or external capital is involved.
