Communauté de communes du Pays de Jeanne
The Communauté de communes du Pays de Jeanne is a former communal union of ten municipalities in the far north-west of the Vosges department in Lorraine .
The municipal association had 2,509 inhabitants (2008) on 128.73 km², which corresponded to a population density of 19 inhabitants / km². The seat of the association, which is one of the smallest in Lorraine, was the municipality of Coussey .
The name of the association, founded on December 31, 1998, points to the member community Domrémy-la-Pucelle , the birthplace of Joan of Arc - with the Joan of Arc birthplace and the Basilique du Bois-Chênu an important tourist magnet in a rather structurally weak region Surroundings. The association area extended along the valleys of the Meuse , Vair and Saônelle as well as the strata of the Côtes de Meuse , a 200-kilometer-long mountain range accompanying the Meuse on the right.
The municipal association was formed to bundle the material resources of the small communities and to coordinate economic development.
With effect from January 1, 2013, the community association merged with the Communauté de communes du Pays des Côtes et de la Ruppe and the Communauté de communes du Pays de Neufchâteau and thus formed the new Communauté de communes du Bassin de Neufchâteau .
