Métropole Aix-Marseille-Provence

The Métropole Aix-Marseille-Provence extends across 3,149 square kilometers, covering parts of Bouches-du-Rhône, Var, and Vaucluse departments with 92 municipalities.

The formation of this metropolitan area in 2016 merged six former intercommunal structures to create France's largest territorial administrative unit with Marseille as its capital.

Each municipality within the metropolitan area maintains its individual character while contributing to regional initiatives through festivals, museums, and artistic events throughout the year.

The metropolitan administration coordinates public transportation networks, waste management systems, and economic development programs across all member municipalities to serve 1.9 million residents.

This metropolitan area operates through six distinct geographical territories, each preserving its former intercommunal identity while functioning under a unified administrative framework.
