The communauté de communes Bourganeuf et Royère-de-Vassivière is in the Creuse département of the Limousin region of central France. It was created in January 2000.[1] It was merged into the new Communauté de communes Creuse Sud Ouest in January 2017.
The communauté comprised the following 20 communes:[1]
The policy and objectives of the communauté are economic development, improvement of habitat, preservation of natural heritage and enhancement of cultural heritage, maintaining and welcoming a changing population and economic activities.
The communauté plans to restore the sites of the ‘’Martinèche’’, at Soubrebost, where Martin Nadaud was born and died. It is proposed to create a memorial space and visitors’ centre based on the life of Martin Nadaud. To this effect, a public subscription has been proposed.[2]
To protect the site from any other development, the communauté purchased in 2007, nearly 18ha of the Mazure marshes located between Royère and Saint-Pierre-Bellevue. Placed under a forestry regime, the marsh will be managed by the National Forestry Office.[3]
