Bordeaux Métropole
Bordeaux Métropole encompasses only the central part of the metropolitan area of Bordeaux (see infobox at Bordeaux article for the metropolitan area). Communes further away from the center of the metropolitan area have formed their own intercommunal structures, such as:
- Communauté de communes de Montesquieu
- Communauté de communes des Coteaux Bordelais
- Communauté de communes du Secteur de Saint-Loubès
- Communauté de communes Jalle Eau Bourde
- etc.
History

On 1 January 2015, the Métropole replaced the Urban Community in accordance with a law of January 2014.
