Location of the association of municipalities in the Occitania region

The Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole is a French association of municipalities with the legal form of a Métropole in the Hérault département in the Occitania region . It was founded on July 30, 2001 and comprises 31 parishes.

Historical development

The District de Montpellier , founded in 1965 , which initially consisted of 12 and later 15 municipalities, was transformed into the Communauté d'agglomération Montpellier Agglomération on August 1, 2001 . With accessions, the community now comprised 38 parishes. In order to maintain their independence, six municipalities ( La Grande-Motte , Mauguio , Saint-Aunès , Saint-Clément-de-Rivière , Saint-Gély-du-Fesc and Teyran ) resigned on January 1, 2004 . Palavas-les-Flots , which had belonged to the predecessor association since 1965, left the community on January 1, 2005, so that the number of member communities is now only 31. On January 1, 2015, the association of municipalities was converted into the legal form of a Métropole in accordance with the new legal provisions and was given the name Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole .
