Communauté de Communes des Vallons du Lyonnais

What Communauté de Communes des Vallons du Lyonnais does

The Communauté de Communes des Vallons du Lyonnais (CCVL) is a French Établissement public de coopération intercommunale (EPCI) headquartered in Vaugneray, France, that coordinates shared public services across eight member communes west of Lyon: Brindas, Grézieu-la-Varenne, Messimy, Pollionnay, Sainte-Consorce, Thurins, Vaugneray, and Yzeron. The structure was founded in 1997 and operates with 51-100 employees from a single headquarters at 27 chemin du Stade, Vaugneray. CCVL delivers a broad portfolio of statutory public services including waste collection and an intercommunal déchèterie (managed via an online vehicle-registration portal at decheterie.ccvl.fr using license-plate recognition), household waste taxation (TEOM), mobility (TCL/Cars du Rhône bus lines, electric-vehicle charging stations, cycling infrastructure, organized hitchhiking, VAE purchase subsidies), early-childhood and youth services (0-30 years), cultural facilities (three museums — Musée Théâtre Guignol, Musée Antoine Brun, Maison du Blanchisseur; the L'InterValle theater; the Médi@Val library network), sports facilities (Piscine des Vallons du Lyonnais, Piscine d'été de Thurins, climbing wall, Val'VTT trail network), economic development (Village d'entreprises at PAE de La Goyenche, free environmental diagnostics via CCI/CMA partnerships), and habitat support (renovation aid, social housing production, photovoltaic transition grants) through partnerships with ALTE 69, SOLIHA, and Epora.

The underlying technology stack is conventional rather than AI-driven: the ccvl.fr website is built on WordPress/Elementor, uses Matomo Analytics (self-hosted by web agency SYNAPSE on OVH infrastructure in France) with privacy-preserving settings including IP masking and DNT respect, and deploys Google reCAPTCHA for anti-spam. The 'CCVL & moi' citizen portal offers web and mobile (iOS/Android) access to online forms and services. An interactive map system (cartes interactives) covers six domains — childhood/youth facilities, cultural equipment, sports equipment, waste collection points, mobility infrastructure, and economic activity parks. Certifications include partial RGAA 4.1.2 accessibility compliance (69.1% conformance rate audited by SYNAPSE in November 2023).

CCVL's business model is tax-and-grant based rather than commercial. Revenue streams are the TEOM (Taxe d'Enlèvement des Ordures Ménagères) levied on residents — with REOM merged into TEOM in 2025 — the taxe de séjour (tourist tax) collected from hébergeurs, central and regional government grants through the CRTE framework, ANAH housing renovation aid, ADEME/FEDER/Region AuRA environmental financing, and limited service fees (e.g., déchèterie vehicle registration, pool entry). GTM is direct-to-citizen via multiple channels: in-person at CCVL headquarters and the eight town halls, via the citizen portal and mobile app, through digital forms on the website, and through quarterly publication 'Quoi de 9?' plus newsletter and Facebook. Customer segments include all residents of the 8 communes, local TPE/PME businesses and artisans, hébergeurs, social-housing providers, and modest households seeking renovation support. The organization is governed by an elected Conseil communautaire and Bureau under President Daniel Malosse, and is not a commercially-investable entity.
