I seek information related to French Local Government. How many french municipal councils are there how many french provincial regions are there?
There are 36,000 communes in France, most of them small villages. The 'commune' is the most basic level of local governement and each of these has its local council (le conseil municipal). The next level are the 'canton' (grouping of a few villages), the arrondissement (a few cantons) which are both administrative subdivisions, and the département. Mainland France is divided into 95 départements - there are also 5 oversea départements. The département has its own council made up of one person elected by each canton. The départements are in turn grouped in regions (22 regions in mainland France, 4 regions overseas). These regions somehow replicate the 'provinces' which existed under the 'ancien regime' (before the French revolution).
