# French municipality (commune) (`fr_commune`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Name of a commune, the smallest administrative unit of France, for example Paris or Mende. Many names occur in more than one department, so a name alone does not identify a commune; its INSEE code (inseecode) does.
