Mairie de Bray-Dunes

What Mairie de Bray-Dunes does

Mairie de Bray-Dunes is the municipal government authority for the commune of Bray-Dunes, a coastal town in the Nord department of Hauts-de-France, France, located on the Franco-Belgian border near the North Sea. The municipality serves approximately 4,521 residents (2020 INSEE) across an 8.6 km² territory, providing the full suite of mandated public services: civil status registration, urban planning and permitting, identity document processing (CNI/passport) via the national ANTS platform, social action through the CCAS (Centre Communal d'Action Sociale), education-linked services (school cafeteria, before/after school care, leisure centers), beach and environmental maintenance (coordinated via the SIDF intercommunal syndicate), and tourism infrastructure including the municipal campsite. Its primary sub-brands are CCAS (social action), Camping Municipal des Dunes (tourism), and Cinéma Fa-Mi-La (cultural services).

The municipality's core digital product is My Perischool, launched in 2022, a parent-facing platform available on web, iOS, and Android that consolidates registration, online payment, and invoicing for children's extracurricular activities (school cafeteria, leisure centers, recreational Wednesdays, before/after school care). The municipal website runs on WordPress CMS, hosted via OVH. Public-facing communications are distributed through the official website, Facebook, Instagram, and a long-running municipal magazine (archives dating to 1965). Recent product extensions include a Cyclo-nomade package at the campsite (2026, 15€/night) and the LAEP early-childhood service through CCAS (2026).

Mairie de Bray-Dunes operates as a French public administrative entity (collectivité territoriale), funded through national government transfers, local taxation, and fees for specific services rather than commercial revenue. The commune is a member of the Communauté Urbaine de Dunkerque. The current mayor, Elodie Garreau, also serves as Vice-President of the Communauté Urbaine de Dunkerque in charge of childhood and education. Governance is exercised through a municipal council and mayor, with service delivery supported by 19 municipal employees across the town hall, CCAS/France Services office, and campsite.

• Mairie de Wimereux: Similar French Hauts-de-France/Opal Coast seaside-resort commune with beach tourism, municipal campground operations, and CCAS-style social services for a similar population scale. Provides a near-identical municipal service operating model on the Channel/North Sea coast.
• Mairie de Mers-les-Bains: Small French Channel-coast resort commune with beach tourism, municipal campsite operations, and similar demographic scale (~3,000-4,500 residents). Shares the small-commune seaside-tourism service model and seasonal revenue profile.
• Mairie de Ghyvelde: Historical parent commune of Bray-Dunes (formerly 'Section de Ghyvelde' per company history). Comparable small French Nord-department commune with shared administrative, social, and tourism service obligations on the Franco-Belgian border.

Broad incumbents

• Mairie de La Baule-Escoublac: Major French Atlantic-coast resort commune operating a substantially larger scale of beach tourism, municipal events, cultural programs (Saison Culturelle, Cinéma), and CCAS-style social services - relevant as the broader incumbent archetype of a French coastal tourism municipality.
• Mairie de Saint-Malo: Larger French coastal resort commune with extensive tourism infrastructure (campsites, événements culturels, CCAS), serving as the broader-incumbent model for how a commune of similar geographic profile layers commercial tourism, cultural programming, and resident services.
