Abstract
The search for an operational dividing of towns is a pressing present-day problem for many municipalities. Any administrative divisions which are out off from the actual experience of the inhabitants cannot be admitted a priori. In the absence of any general, simultaneous inquiries, it is possible to study the moments when the awareness of belonging to a community, qualified as a district, and the town's search for dividing come together. The article thus presents two approaches, starting from the district's organisation of the 14th July celebrations at the end of the 19th century and from the flourishing of district committees around the 1977 municipal elections. This leads to a distinction between three levais of apprehending the "districts" which often coincide in pairs and which are taken in a dynamic process of creating and losing their structures.
