Vallons de Haute Bretagne Communauté

What Vallons de Haute Bretagne Communauté does

Vallons de Haute Bretagne Communauté (VHBC) is a French public intercommunal structure (communauté de communes / Établissement public de coopération intercommunale) founded in 2015 and headquartered in Guichen, Ille-et-Vilaine, Brittany. It delivers public services to approximately 35,000 residents across 18 member communes, including Baulon, Bourg-des-Comptes, Guichen Pont-Réan, Guipry-Messac, Val d'Anast, and 13 others. Governance is provided by 55 elected community councilors forming a Bureau led by President Thierry Beaujouan, with 51 administrative employees.

VHBC's service portfolio spans transport and mobility, sanitation, waste management, employment and integration support, childhood and youth services (nursery, Relais petite enfance, Espaces jeunes), cultural facilities (a library network, community médiathèque, intercommunal music school Musicole, youth center Le Chorus), sports and recreation (AquaVallons aquatic center, the new nautical base at Pont-Réan), administrative access points (France services, cyber-bases), and territorial development initiatives (Plan climat-air-énergie territorial, Breizh Bocage biodiversity program, Très Haut Débit broadband deployment). The organization publishes the quarterly Escales magazine, an annual tourism magazine, and annual activity reports.

The underlying technology is conventional: a WordPress CMS-based website with standard HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript for content delivery, supplemented by Mailjet for newsletter distribution and online payment and procedure portals. VHBC is funded entirely through public mechanisms — member commune contributions, local taxes, and government grants from the French state, Département d'Ille-et-Vilaine, Région Bretagne, Agence de l'Eau, and European funds (FEDER) — with no commercial pricing model. Recent capital programs include the 1,443,993 € HT nautical base at Pont-Réan (inaugurated 2026) and the 1.5 million € TTC multimodal exchange hub at Guipry-Messac train station. The organization holds the Label Or Services Publics + recognition from two French ministers and partial RGAA 4 accessibility compliance (62.5%).
