CCEG (Communauté de
Communes d'Erdre et Gesvres)
The CCEG (Erdre & Gesvres
village community) was created in December 1994. It counted by
then four townships: Grandchamp-des-Fontaines, Sucé-sur-Erdre,
Treillières and Vigneux-de-Bretagne.
Since December 28, 2001, it
counts from then on 12 villages. The following villages have
joined: Fay-de-Bretagne, Héric and Notre-Dame-des-Landes (from
the district of Blain); Casson, Les Touches, Nort-sur-Erdre,
Petit-Mars and Saint-Mars-du-Désert. They bring a homogeneous
impulsion to the whole community, which is responsible for
leading common projects. Studies and actions for the welfare of
the community are achieved in territorial, economic, social,
environmental and cultural fields.

It is the fourth biggest
village community in Loire-Atlantique.
12 villages accounting for more
than 50,000 inhabitants and with a strong demographic growth:
+16.6% since 1990 (Loire-Atlantique average rate being
+7.8%).
A young population: nearly 30%
of inhabitants are less than 20 years old, thus there is a
challenging education issue.

A territory now knowing a fast
urbanization: between 1990 and 1995, 193 planning permissions
were delivered, between 1996 and 1999: 376, and between 2000
and 2002: 446.
A territory counting 18,936
people in employment, a growing number thanks to the attraction
of Nantes.

sector (nearly 1 job in 3), especially in education, health,
social action and trade.
