Let’s look at the local subdivisions of this national system. France is divided into 90 counties. For our “county” the French say “Département”. The Départements subdivide themselves into Arrondissements, each containing Cantons, which are made up of groups of Communes. The men of each Commune (women have never voted in France) elect a Mayor (Maire), who is the local official with whom, your unit is likely to have the most contact. He will no doubt have much to do with the billeting arrangements, water supply, traffic control, and other such administrative details. Remember that he is quite an important figure in the community. He will rate any courtesies paid him, and will no doubt be of great help to your unit.
