COMMUNE DE DIVES SUR MER

What COMMUNE DE DIVES SUR MER does

The Commune de Dives-sur-Mer is a French municipal government entity (commune) operating under public law in the Calvados department of Normandy, France. The municipality administers a coastal town of nearly 6,000 permanent residents, providing the full spectrum of statutory civic services: civil status administration (identity cards, passports, elections), education and youth programs (municipal crèche with 17 places, Centre de loisirs Les Tilleuls for ages 3-11, youth facilities for 11-17 year-olds), cultural programming (Le Sablier National Puppet Center, Cinéma Le Drakkar, media library), public works, social services (CCAS), and tourism promotion. It also hosts a municipal marina (Port Guillaume) developed on a former industrial site.

The commune's core digital infrastructure is a website-based municipal service delivery platform (dives-sur-mer.fr) that aggregates civic information, online payment of municipal fees, administrative form downloads, business and association directories, tourism guides with historical circuits, a recruitment portal, and digital editions of the quarterly municipal bulletin (Dives Infos). The platform is hosted by Agence Nouveau regard in Caen. Service delivery combines a physical town hall (Hôtel de Ville, Rue du Général de Gaulle) operating Monday–Friday 9h00–12h00 and 13h00–17h30 with self-serve online services, supplemented by a Facebook channel and printed publications. The municipality is led by Mayor Pierre Mouraret.

Funding is provided through public taxation (property taxes, local business taxes) and government subsidies rather than commercial revenue. The commune participates in the national "Petites villes de demain" urban revitalization program (joined 2021) and holds seven monuments classified under France's inventory of historical monuments, including heritage tied to Guillaume le Conquérant's 1066 departure for the conquest of England. The entity is not a commercial enterprise, has no subsidiaries, parent company, or external funding rounds, and does not publicly disclose a corporate revenue figure; its finances are reported through annual municipal budgets.
