Communauté de Communes Gérardmer Hautes Vosges (CCGHV)

What Communauté de Communes Gérardmer Hautes Vosges (CCGHV) does

Communauté de Communes Gérardmer Hautes Vosges (CCGHV) is a French public intercommunal territorial establishment (Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale, SIREN 200096642) headquartered at 16 Rue Charles de Gaulle, 88400 Gérardmer, France. Founded in 2022, it groups eight communes — Gérardmer, Xonrupt-Longemer, Liézey, Champdray, Rehaupal, Le Tholy, Le Valtin, and Granges-Aumontzey — serving roughly 15,000 residents across the Vosges mountains. The entity delivers mandated inter-municipal public services across five competency areas: environment (Plan Climat Air Énergie Territorial, Régie des Eaux, household waste collection, Déchèterie, composting, PLPDMA 2024–2029); territorial planning (housing, urbanisme, Plan de paysage, mobility, the 25 km Gérardmer–Bruyères greenway co-developed with CCB2V); resident services (France Services hub, home meal delivery, Relais Petite Enfance, traveller reception area); culture and leisure (École de Musique, Médialudothèque du Tilleul, Pass Gérardmer Hautes Vosges); and mobility (seasonal Navette des Crêtes mountain shuttle with Fluo Grand Est and Massif des Vosges).

CCGHV does not sell a software product or commercial platform; its digital surface consists of a WordPress-based informational and transactional website (ccghv.fr) hosted by Infomaniak and maintained by the Épinal agency Section 4. E-commerce functionality is limited to online ordering of environmental goods (composters, rainwater harvesters). There is no public API, no SDK, and no AI/ML component disclosed.

The business model is that of a French public authority rather than a commercial operator. Funding derives from local taxation, transfers from the State, Région Grand Est, and ADEME, plus minor service fees (e.g., shuttle tickets at €4 standard / €2 reduced / €10 family pass). Governance rests with a community council presided over by Thomas GION, who is concurrently Mayor of Gérardmer. Day-to-day execution is led by a small team (10 administrative staff listed, including Maxime BERQUE as Chef de projets aménagements cyclables et développement local) plus a wider municipal workforce delivering field services. The operating perimeter is exclusively domestic, restricted to the eight communes, with partnerships (ADEME, CEREMA, Fluo Grand Est, Massif des Vosges, CCB2V, Agglomération d'Épinal, Valterra Études Conseil, Infomaniak, Section 4) extending operational and technical capacity rather than market reach.

Regional players

• Communauté de communes Terres Touloises: Grand Est intercommunal providing comparable water, waste, and mobility competencies at similar scale, useful for benchmarking service delivery cost structures.
• Communauté de communes de la Plaine du Rhin: Grand Est intercommunal in the same regional administrative orbit; demonstrates the alternative plaine geography while sharing the same EPCI operating model.

Direct peers

• Communauté de communes du Pays de Remiremont: Adjacent Vosges communauté de communes delivering similar environmental, water, and tourism services to mountain communes. Highly comparable in scale, mandate, and rural-mountain geography.
• Communauté de communes du Pays de Bitche: Moselle-Vosges border intercommunal of similar small scale; shares the Grand Est regional coordination framework and rural-mountain demographic profile.
• Communauté de communes Bruyères Vallons des Vosges (CCB2V): Neighboring Vosges intercommunal structure and confirmed co-development partner of CCGHV on the Gérardmer–Bruyères cycling path. Operates the same EPCI model over a comparable rural territory with overlapping environmental and mobility competencies.
• Communauté de communes de la Vallée de la Bruche: Alsace-Vosges mountain vallée intercommunal offering a near-analogous tourism-and-environment service portfolio, including seasonal mountain shuttles and cycling infrastructure.
• Communauté d'Agglomération d'Épinal: Larger Grand Est intercommunal structure that has formally joined the CCGHV-CCB2V cycling project. Provides a higher-tier peer showing the agglomeration model CCGHV could evolve into if consolidation advances.
• Communauté de communes du Val d'Argent: Small Vosges vallée intercommunal serving a few thousand residents across several communes — extremely close to CCGHV in headcount, mandate, and service mix.
• Communauté de communes des Vosges du Sud: Southern Vosges intercommunal structure with a comparable rural-urban mix and similar portfolio of public services (water, waste, mobility, culture). Useful structural benchmark for budget composition.

Others

• Pôle d'Équilibre Territorial et Rural (PETR) du Pays d'Épinal et de ses Vallées: Territorial coordination body in CCGHV's broader region that channels EU/state development funds and cross-EPCI projects — a supra-local counterpart rather than a direct competitor.
