What Sud Retz Atlantique Communauté does

Sud Retz Atlantique Communauté (legal name: Communauté de Communes Sud Retz Atlantique) is a French public intercommunal cooperation institution (Établissement public de coopération intercommunale, EPCI) governed by French public law, jointly administered by elected officials from 8 member communes — Corcoué-sur-Logne, La Marne, Legé, Machecoul-Saint-Même, Paulx, Saint-Étienne-de-Mer-Morte, Saint-Mars-de-Coutais, and Touvois — in the southern Loire-Atlantique department of the Pays de la Loire region. Its headquarters (Maison de l'intercommunalité) are at Machecoul-Saint-Même. The current President is Laurent Robin.

The entity delivers a coordinated portfolio of public services to residents and businesses across its territoire, organized around statutory competences that include waste management (biodéchets, recyclables, déchèteries, voluntary drop-off points, Pass'Déchèteries access system), environmental and energy policy (PCAET climate plan, water management, forestry charter, green spaces, voirie), mobility and transport (Aléop on-demand and school transport, carpooling, cycling, rail/bus coordination), housing and renovation support (France Rénov'), urban planning (ADS authorizations), social services, and cultural and sports facilities including the Château d'Ô and Océane aquatic centers, the intercommunal library network, the Office de Tourisme, and the third places La Distillerie des Initiatives and La Mine au Tri. Communication is conducted via the official website, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, community magazines, and press relations. There is no commercial technology product, no proprietary software platform, and no app; service delivery relies on physical infrastructure and an informational digital presence established since 2019.

The entity is not a commercial enterprise and is funded through local fiscalité, intercommunal contributions from member communes, and state/regional government subsidies, with nominal user fees for certain services such as aquatic centers. Revenue, budget figures, and detailed financial data are not publicly disclosed in the available source material. The organization operates approximately 29 administrative staff and is governed under public law with no private shareholders, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. It is not listed on any stock exchange and is not subject to private equity or venture investment.

• Nantes Métropole: Much larger Loire-Atlantique métropole whose portfolio (waste, mobility, environment, culture) overlaps substantially with Sud Retz Atlantique's service mix, illustrating the scaled-up version of the same intercommunal mandate.
