👉 Communes, also known as "communalities," are a type of local government unit that typically governs the land and resources within a community. Communes can be found in various regions such as France, Italy, Germany, and many other countries. They are often composed of towns or villages with shared governance and services provided to their residents. Communes are responsible for managing public spaces like parks, roads, and water bodies, ensuring that these areas are maintained and used efficiently by the community.
