The communauté comprises the following 20 communes:
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.[1]
To protect the site from any other development,, the communauté purchased in 2007, nearly 18 hectares (44 acres) 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.[2]
