What Communauté d'Agglomération Bergeracoise does

The Communauté d'Agglomération Bergeracoise (CAB) is a French public intercommunal structure (Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale, or EPCI) created on January 1, 2013, through the merger of three Communautés de Communes (CDC Dordogne-Eyraud-Lidoire, CDC Bergerac Pourpre, and CDC des Trois Vallées du Bergeracois). It was further expanded on January 1, 2017, with the integration of eleven communes from the CDC des coteaux de Sigoulès. The CAB coordinates public services across 38 communes spanning approximately 1,533 km² in the Dordogne department of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, serving a population of roughly 90,000 residents — equivalent to about 25% of the department's population. It is headquartered at Domaine de La Tour in Bergerac and operates with a core technical team of approximately 30 staff, supported by a network of operational partners.

The CAB's service portfolio spans transportation (Transports Urbains Bergeracois / TUB bus network, expanded in September 2024), cultural infrastructure (Centre Culturel Michel Manet, Quai Cyrano, the Micro-Folie digital museum powered by La Villette, Conservatoire), sports and leisure facilities (AQUALUD aquatic center, Complexe sportif du Roc), early childhood services (crèches and Relais Petite Enfance with a new 35-place nursery at Lamonzie-Saint-Martin), healthcare access (intercommunal health center, telemedicine, Maisons de Santé), environmental programs (Plan Climat, Véloroute Voie Verte V91, water management including GEMAPI), and citizen-facing administrative services (France Services hubs in La Force and Mouleydier with itinerant mobile services to smaller communes). Key partnerships include La Villette and DRAC Nouvelle-Aquitaine for cultural programming, SOLiHA for housing renovation, CAF/MSA for youth programs, and the French state plus European Territorialised Funds 21-27 for capital subsidies.

The CAB is financed through a public-sector revenue model: local taxation (taxe foncière, CFE, and other local levies from the 38 communes), government subsidies from the French state and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, European structural funds, and modest public service fees (transport, certain cultural facilities). Most services are provided free of charge to residents. Governance is provided by elected community council representatives from member communes under the Code Général des Collectivités Territoriales; community council elections were held on April 3, 2026, with Frédéric Delmarès elected as President. The CAB is also twinned with Zhenjiang, China, for cultural and economic exchange. It is not a commercial entity and has no equity ownership, venture funding, or public market listing.
