An agglomeration community (French: communauté d'agglomération) is a government structure in France, created by the Chevènement Law of 1999. It is one of four forms of intercommunality, less integrated than a métropole or a communauté urbaine but more integrated than a communauté de communes. Agglomeration communities consist of a commune of at least 15,000 inhabitants (or a prefecture with less than 15,000 inhabitants) and its independent suburbs.
As of May 2017, there are 219 agglomeration communities in France (204 in metropolitan France and 15 in the overseas departments). The population (as of 2014) of the agglomeration communities ranges from 434,409 inhabitants (CA Toulon Provence Méditerranée) to 29,912 inhabitants (CA Grand Guéret).
