Communauté de communes du Pays Foyen

What Communauté de communes du Pays Foyen does

Communauté de communes du Pays Foyen (CdC du Pays Foyen) is a French public intercommunal structure (Établissement public de coopération intercommunale, EPCI) created in 2002, headquartered at 22 Avenue de Verdun, Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, Gironde, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It pools the public-service competencies of around 20 member communes straddling the Gironde and Dordogne departments, serving a rural population classified as a Zone France Ruralité Revitalisation (FRR). Its portfolio spans family services (three crèches — Tom Pouce, Les P'tits Loups, Lous Pitchouns — the Relais Petite Enfance network, a Lieu d'Accueil Enfants-Parents, leisure centres for ages 3–12, Club Ados for ages 10–17, and périscolaire at all public schools), senior care (Service Autonomie à Domicile jointly run with the Centre Hospitalier de Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, MARPA La Tuquette residential home for 24 residents, home-help, meal delivery, and the Charte des solidarités avec les aînés), mobility (Bureau mobilité, e-bike rental, and the Transport Solidaire Foyen service launching January 2026), healthcare (multidisciplinary health centre), economic development (Maison des entreprises, Pépinière L'Accélérateur incubator, Espace Coworking, and five Zones d'Activités Économiques), and cultural amenities (cinema La Brèche, médiathèque intercommunale, and the Micro-Folie digital museum venue). Administrative services are channelled through two France Services offices (Sainte-Foy-la-Grande and Pellegrue), integrating twelve national operators.

Its core technology layer is a digital public-service delivery platform comprising the Portail Famille (online registration and payments for childcare, leisure and youth services, hosted at paysfoyen.portail-familles.app), an online payment portal, free digital kiosks (Bornes numériques) deployed across six small communes, and the institutional website (paysfoyen.fr) which acts as a service directory and event hub. The Pôle Habitat et Rénovation Énergétique office in Pineuilh extends into housing and energy-renovation advisory. The CdC is governed by elected officials led by President Pierre Robert and operates with a core administrative headcount of 11–50; service delivery at scale relies on partner agencies, CIAS du Pays Foyen, and contracted providers.

Its business model is that of a public administrative entity rather than a commercial company. Funding is sourced primarily from local taxation (fiscalité locale), intergovernmental transfers, and co-funding from departmental and national partners (CAF, MSA, CARSAT, Département de la Gironde). Services to residents — childcare, leisure, home-help, meal delivery, mobility, MARPA residency, cinema and médiathèque — are charged at subsidised rates set in annual tariff documents, with many services effectively free at point of use for qualifying residents. There is no commercial sales motion, no venture or private equity involvement, and no publicly disclosed revenue figure, consistent with its status as a government body.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Bordeaux Métropole: Large metropolitan EPCI in Nouvelle-Aquitaine operating the same categories of public services (childcare, senior care, mobility, economic development, cultural amenities) but at much greater scale. Comparable in function and EPCI legal form, but operates as a broad incumbent serving urban and suburban populations.

Others

• CIVICAM (Bertin IT): Software vendor providing digital portals and citizen engagement platforms specifically to French intercommunal authorities (CdCs, mairies). Comparable as the technology backbone that many EPCIs use for the type of Portail Famille and citizen services that Pays Foyen operates.
• La Poste Groupe: National postal operator and France Services partner that operates its own network of local service points across rural France. Comparable as a public-facing service delivery network serving similar rural resident needs (administrative assistance, banking, parcels) and overlapping with CdC service territory.

Direct peers

Directly comparable as a CdC structure providing the same types of public services (childcare, senior care, France Services, economic development) to a similar rural/peri-urban population.
• Communauté de communes de Castillon-Pujols: Neighboring EPCI in the Gironde department. Comparable in structure (CdC providing multi-sectoral public services) and demographics (rural wine country territory with similar aging population). Shares overlapping service mandates with Pays Foyen and competes for the same departmental and regional funding.
• Communauté de communes de Montaigne Montravel et Garonne: Neighboring EPCI straddling the Gironde-Dordogne border, mirroring Pays Foyen's cross-departmental geography. Comparable in scope and rural population profile, with similar services including France Rurale Revitalisation classification and France Services presence.
