Sophia Antipolis - Municipality system

The French public service is managed by the State, which begins to decentralise by giving more power to the Region, the Department, and the Commune.

The Region
There are 22 regions, each one has several Departments (Alpes Maritimes - 06 - is in the Region of Provence-Alpes Côte d'Azur). The Region is governed by the Regional Council or "le Conseil Régional".
