What Mairie de Moulins does

Mairie de Moulins (legal name: Ville de Moulins) is the municipal government of Moulins, a French commune serving as the prefecture of the Allier department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Founded in its current departmental-capital form in 1790, the municipality provides a comprehensive portfolio of statutory and discretionary public services to approximately 20,000 residents, including civil administration, urban planning, social action, education support, cultural programming, and sports/recreation infrastructure. Key operated facilities include the 800-seat Théâtre municipal (built 1847, renovated December 2019), Bibliothèque Florilège with over 16,000 volumes, the L'Ovive aquatic complex, the Palais des Sports multi-sport complex, Résidence Sainte-Thérèse (74 senior apartments managed by CCAS), the SESAME multi-service civic hub, and municipal archives with documents dating to the 14th century. The municipality also maintains a co-working space and is designated 'Ville d'art et d'histoire' by the French Ministry of Culture.

The business model is tax-funded rather than commercial: revenue derives from local taxes (taxe foncière, taxe d'habitation, contribution économique territoriale), intercommunality contributions through Moulins Communauté, and state subsidies, with services delivered free or at subsidized rates to residents. Monetized streams include theater subscriptions (Découverte/Liberté/Passion tiers with 20-40% discounts), cultural venue rentals, parking, public-space occupation permits, and specialized services such as tele-assistance and meal delivery for seniors aged 65+. Distribution spans physical touchpoints (Hôtel de Ville, SESAME, specialized facilities), digital channels (ville-moulins.fr, Intramuros mobile app, Moulins.tv, social media), and community engagement via the weekly 'Vendredi, c'est mairie' open sessions and the 33-member Conseil Municipal des Jeunes created in 2022. Key institutional partnerships include Centre National du Costume de Scène, Evoléa (social housing operator managing 7,300+ units), Aléo Keolis (public transport), SICTOM (waste management), and twin-city relationships with Bad Vilbel, Montepulciano, and Grand Bassam. Leadership rests with Mayor Pierre-André Périssol, who serves as Director of Publication of the official municipal website.
