"Rennes Métropole" is the name of the administrative district that is made up of Rennes and the surrounding towns and villages ('communes'), and today comprises 36 communes with 360,000 inhabitants (1999 census) spread over 558.50 hectares. It has an extensive range of activities and responsibilities, including economic and technological development, land use planning, the environment, town and country planning, public transport, household waste management, local highways, and local cultural and sporting facilities.

In 1994, Rennes Métropole was the first urban area in France to adopt the 'taxe professionnelle communautaire' (community business tax), which corresponds to the average rate of the business tax in the different communes.

Edmond Herv?Ehas been president, first of Rennes' District and then of Rennes' Métropole, since 1989.
