Communauté de Communes du Créonnais

What Communauté de Communes du Créonnais does

The Communauté de Communes du Créonnais (CDC) is a French Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale (EPCI) established in 2001, headquartered in Créon, Gironde, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It coordinates public services across 15 communes serving approximately 18,500 inhabitants, operating with a lean core administrative staff of 5 employees. Its service portfolio spans social action through the wholly-owned CIAS subsidiary (meal delivery, teleassistance, food aid, emergency housing, social accompaniment), mobility (school transport, regional bus lines, on-demand transport, carpooling via the Covoit Modalis app, and the 57 km Roger Lapébie cycle path), environmental management (waste collection via Semoctom, Voltalis smart thermostat deployment, solar and thermal simulators, OPAH housing renovation program), administrative simplification (France Services-labeled La Cabane à Projets since 2021 centralizing 9 national public services), and community life (Estivales du Créonnais summer events, library network, support for 585+ local associations).

The CDC's underlying technology stack is modest and procurement-based: its public-facing platform (www.cc-creonnais.fr) is built and hosted by IntraMuros SAS, with anonymized analytics via Matomo hosted on servers in France. Specialized services run on third-party platforms — Présence Verte for teleassistance, Voltalis for connected thermostats, Esperel for meal delivery, Soliha for housing renovation advice, and the regional Covoit Modalis app for carpooling. No proprietary AI/ML systems, APIs, or developer-facing products are documented; technology investment is focused on operational service delivery rather than digital product development.

The CDC is funded primarily through local taxation and intergovernmental transfers from the Region Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Department of Gironde, the French State (including ANAH), and CAF. Most public services are free or subsidized for residents; fee-based services include meal delivery at €6.70/meal (first meal free, CIAS subsidy), teleassistance at €22/month (CIAS financial participation and 50% tax credit available for eligible residents), and on-demand transport at €10/round trip on longer routes. Governance rests with the Conseil Communautaire under President Alain Zabulon, with the CIAS providing the social action arm. As a statutory public entity, the CDC is not subject to commercial competition and holds a regulatory monopoly over its defined service territory.

Revenue model

1. Taxation and intergovernmental fiscal transfers: As a French Établissement public de coopération intercommunale (EPCI), the CDC is primarily funded through local taxation (fiscalité locale) and intergovernmental transfers from the Region Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Department of Gironde, and the French State (ANAH, etc.). Budget documents are adopted annually by the Conseil Communautaire.

• Semoctom: Syndicat Mixte managing waste collection for the CDC and multiple other EPCIs in the area; key operational partner and ecosystem peer in environmental services rather than a direct competitor.

• Entre-Deux-Mers Tourisme: Tourism office operating inside the CDC territory (62 Boulevard Victor Hugo, Créon); comparable tourism-promotion mandate for adjacent EPCIs and a peer in destination-marketing capability.

• Communauté d'Agglomération de Libourne: Larger Nouvelle-Aquitaine agglomeration also connected to the CDC's Transport à la Demande destinations; broader portfolio but overlaps heavily on CIAS-style social action, mobility and environmental programs.
