Communauté de communes du Pays de Nay

What Communauté de communes du Pays de Nay does

Communauté de communes du Pays de Nay (CCPN) is a French public intercommunal cooperative structure (Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale, EPCI) established in 2017 and governed by the Code général des collectivités territoriales. It brings together 29 municipalities in the Pays de Nay territory of the Béarn region (Pyrénées-Atlantiques department, Nouvelle-Aquitaine), serving approximately 35,000–40,000 residents across waste management, water and sanitation (SPANC/SEAPaN), early childhood services (3 crèches, a network of 118 childminders, and parental support facilities), cultural facilities, economic development, tourism, public transport (Mobi Pays de Nay), and environmental/climate action. CCPN operates physical service infrastructure distributed across the territory — déchetteries, libraries, the NAYEO swimming pool, the recently opened Espace Culturel du Pays de Nay (Dec 2024, €8.36M HT), and administrative headquarters in Bénéjacq — and runs the community tourism office promoting the '100% Béarn' destination including the VéloRoute 81 and the Col du Soulor heritage site.

CCPN's revenue model is tax-based, funded primarily through local taxes (taxe foncière, CFE), intercommunity contributions from member communes, and grants/subsidies from regional, national, and European funders (Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine, FEDER, FNADT, Plan Avenir Montagne, Agence de l'Eau Adour Garonne). Limited user fees apply to specific services such as meal delivery (portage de repas) and crèches, collectible via online payment portals. The entity has no private shareholders, no equity investors, and is administered by a President (Christian Petchot-Bacqué, Mayor of Lagos) and a Community Council of elected officials from member communes, supported by ~10 direct staff and a wider operational team. Recent strategic activity centres on tourism valorisation (Col du Soulor, Pont des Grottes), cultural infrastructure (Espace Culturel), economic development (Aéropolis aerospace/industry zone), and climate transition (PCAET, Lab'Eau).

Core offering

Communauté de communes du Pays de Nay is a French public intercommunal cooperation establishment (EPCI) that delivers statutory public services to its 29 member communes in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department. Its core activities cover household waste collection and recycling centres, water and sanitation (SPANC and SEAPaN), early childhood services (crèches, RAM, LAEP), a cultural centre and library network, tourism operations, on-demand transport, and economic development zones.

Product overview

The Communauté de communes du Pays de Nay (CCPN) is an intercommunal public authority serving 29 communes in the Béarn region of southwestern France. Rather than a single product, it operates as a multi-service local government offering: public facilities (NAYEO swimming pool, Espace Culturel cultural center); social services (childcare/crèches, meal delivery, early childhood support); environmental services (waste management, water/sanitation via SPANC/SEAPaN, climate action via PCAET); economic development (industrial zones including Aéropolis, business support, agricultural installation aid); and tourism services (community tourism office, cultural heritage, Véloroute cycling). The organization also provides digital services for online payments of childcare and meal delivery, and has recently opened the Espace Culturel du Pays de Nay (December 2024) as a major cultural facility.

Direct peers

• Communauté de communes de la Vallée d'Ossau: Neighbouring Béarn intercommunal structure covering an equivalent number of rural Pyrenean communes; provides the same intercommunal competencies and shares mountain-tourism and pastoralism themes with CCPN.
• Communauté de communes Pyrénées Vallées des Gaves: Neighbouring French communauté de communes in the Hautes-Pyrénées that co-developed the Col du Soulor tourism project with CCPN. Operates an identical set of intercommunal public-service competencies (waste, water, tourism, cultural facilities) over a comparable rural Pyrenean territory.
• Communauté de communes Nord Est Béarn: Another Béarn-area communauté de communes with a comparable rural-agricultural footprint and equivalent intermunicipal service mandate (waste, water, economic development, childcare, culture). Useful operational comparator.
• Communauté de communes du Haut Béarn: Adjacent Béarn communauté de communes providing the same waste/water/childcare/cultural/tourism service portfolio across similar-sized rural Pyrenean communes; the most direct administrative peer for benchmarking CCPN's cost structure and service scope.
• Communauté d'agglomération Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées: Partner communauté d'agglomération that co-develops the Gave de Pau 'eaux vives' white-water tourism project with CCPN. Larger urban EPCI delivering the same intermunicipal-cooperation service categories (waste, transport, economic development, tourism) at greater scale.

Others

• Office de Tourisme Communautaire Pays de Nay (CCPN-internal): Embedded tourism office managed by CCPN that promotes the Vélo Bayonne-Perpignan route, Col du Soulor and local heritage — comparable in scope to standalone DMO/OTI structures that operate inside or alongside French communautés de communes.
• Agence d'Urbanisme Atlantique & Pyrénées (AUDAP): Regional planning agency partnering with CCPN on the Lab'Eau experiment and providing SCoT support; representative of the agencies de conseil that co-deliver planning, PCAET, and urbanisme compétence work for French communautés de communes.

Regional players

• Communauté de communes Adour Madiran: Cross-departmental (Hautes-Pyrénées/Gers) intercommunal structure operating the same range of waste, water, childcare and tourism competencies in the wider Pyrenean/pre-Pyrenean region; useful regional comparator for funding and PCAET practice.
