About us
Created in 1997, the Communauté de Communes du Pays de Lumbres (CCPL) is a group of 36 municipalities and 24 000 inhabitants, located in the Hauts de France. Its role is to federate these municipalities within a space of solidarity, to pool their ressources in order to develop and implement a common and coherent territorial project to serve the development. Therefore it is a form of cooperation between the municipalities of a same territory, the Pays de Lumbres.
