COMMUNE DE NAJAC

What COMMUNE DE NAJAC does

Commune de Najac is a French municipal government (collectivité territoriale) administering local public services, administrative procedures, and civic infrastructure for the residents, visitors, and businesses of the medieval hilltop village of Najac in the Aveyron department of the Occitanie region. It serves permanent residents (families, seniors, youth, and local associations), tourists drawn by Najac's classification among the Plus Beaux Villages de France and its 13th-century fortress, and local businesses and artisans. It is led by Mayor Gilbert Blanc, supported by a municipal council, with operational leadership from Secrétaire général de mairie Nicolas Quêtier and deputies including Laurence Milliat and Alain Andrieu.

The commune's service portfolio spans cultural programming at the Maison du Gouverneur (concerts, cinema screenings such as "Toutes & Tous au Cinoche," festivals), a municipal swimming pool and library (bibliothèque), schooling and youth engagement via the Conseil Municipal des Jeunes, senior support through Point Info Seniors, environmental initiatives (collective composting sites, FREDON Occitanie cool-zone projects), and administrative support including the France Services / La Ruralinette mobile service. Its primary digital product is the official municipal website (najac.fr) maintained by Kalici Communication & Marketing, complemented by a Facebook page, printed municipal bulletins (Najagol Novel), and broadcast retransmission of council meetings. Technology integration is limited to consumer-grade telecom (Orange fibre deployment) and standard municipal websites; no proprietary software, platform, or app is disclosed.

Revenue is generated through local taxation (impôts locaux), intergovernmental transfers and state subsidies (including ANCT VTA program support and Région Occitanie Bourg Centre funding), and fee-based services (cinema, swimming pool, well-being facilities, composters). No fee schedules are publicly disclosed and no revenue figures are reported. As a publicly owned administrative entity, Commune de Najac has no private shareholders, funding rounds, or M&A activity; it operates as a member commune of Ouest Aveyron Communauté for intercommunal coordination across waste management, food systems, family services, and tourism infrastructure.
