Mouthe

What Mouthe does

Mouthe is a French commune (municipality) located in the Haut-Doubs region of the Doubs department in eastern France, with a population of approximately 1,071 inhabitants (1,037 municipal) as of January 1, 2026. Known regionally as 'La Petite Sibérie' (Little Siberia) due to its record-cold climate, the commune operates as a local government entity delivering administrative services, civil status registration, urban planning, waste management, water and sanitation, healthcare coordination, education support, and tourism infrastructure to residents and visitors.

The commune's service delivery combines a physical town hall (Mairie) at 3 Grande Rue with digital infrastructure built on the WebSee Mairie CMS platform (hosted by NET 15), an Alerte SMS notification system, and an online administrative procedures portal covering passport appointments and urban planning submissions. Technology and infrastructure partnerships include DIOPTIC for fiber optic network deployment and Orange for telecommunications, with a scheduled January 2028 copper network closure forcing resident migration to fiber, mobile, or satellite services. Service distribution extends through the Maison France Services hub, a tourist office, community associations, and inter-municipal coordination via the CCLMHD (Communauté de Communes Loue-Lison Mouthe-Haut-Doubs).

Revenue is generated through local taxation, government grants, and user fees, including an incentive-based annual waste collection fee (redevance incitative déchets) with tariffs updated yearly. The customer base spans residents as the primary segment, tourists attracted by the Transjurassienne ski trail, the source of the Doubs river, and peat bog nature sites, local businesses and farmers, and cross-border workers requiring fiscal residence attestations for Switzerland-bound employment. The entity is governed by an elected municipal council, and operates approximately 6 employees according to available staffing data.
