COMMUNAUTE DE COMMUNES DU REQUISTANAIS

What COMMUNAUTE DE COMMUNES DU REQUISTANAIS does

The Communauté de Communes du Réquistanais is a French public intercommunal authority (Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale, EPCI) created in 1992 and headquartered at 2 Place Prosper Boissonnade, Réquista, Aveyron (Occitanie). It governs 11 communes — Auriac-Lagast, La Bastide-Solages, Brasc, Connac, Durenque, Lédergues, Montclar, Réquista, Rullac-Saint-Cirq, Saint-Jean-Delnous, and La Selve — serving more than 5,500 inhabitants across 154 hamlets in a rural economy anchored by sheep farming (72,500–75,000 head, supplying the Roquefort dairy chain). It delivers statutory public services — spatial planning (PLUI), waste collection, road management, childcare, healthcare coordination, cultural and sports facilities, tourism, and economic development — directly to residents, tourists, and local businesses. The entity is funded primarily through local taxes, state allocations, and regional/departmental subsidies, with supplemental fee income from a Médiathèque membership (€7/year), swimming pool admissions, a 16-pitch municipal campsite, and tourism experiences (Nature Game, Fêtes de la Brebis meals).

Service delivery is organised through a distributed network of physical assets: Le Bercail (coworking + public services house), the Médiathèque du Réquistanais, the Maison de Santé Pluridisciplinaire, the Bassins de Natation, La Plaine des Sports, the Petite Crèche (20 children/hour), the Centre de Loisirs, and the Office de Tourisme. Digital infrastructure centres on the requistanais.fr portal — built on standard public-sector web tooling (WordPress, Calameo, Visual Portfolio) — supplemented by Facebook, podcast distribution via Acast ('La Bêêâlle Vie') and SoundCloud (Radio Temps Rodez, 'Les Clés du Patrimoine'). Sub-brands such as Le Bercail, Kalbéni (cultural programming for seniors), Les Trésors du Réquistanais (hiking initiative, 11 trails), and the Office de Tourisme operate as service labels rather than independent product lines. The organisation has no proprietary technology, no APIs or SDKs, and no disclosed AI capability.

The governance structure comprises 28 community councilors, 5 vice-presidents, and a president (Michel CAUSSE, since 16 July 2020), supported by a small administrative team (≈5 staff based on the contact roster). Strategic priorities since 2020 have centred on territorial attractiveness — through the Petites Villes de Demain convention signed December 2022, the Espace Entrepreneurs at Le Bercail, and tourism/heritage initiatives — and on countering rural depopulation by offering comprehensive proximity services (childcare, health, culture, sports, economic support) in a commune-by-commune footprint that the entity itself characterises as well-equipped relative to population.
