In January 2000, the Community of cities of La Rochelle (French: Communauté de villes de La Rochelle) turned into the Communauté d'agglomération de La Rochelle.[2] It was expanded with 10 more communes in January 2014.[3]

The Communauté d'agglomération de La Rochelle divides into two constituencies: Charente-Maritime's 1st constituency and Charente-Maritime's 2nd constituency. A mayor of La Rochelle from April 1999 to April 2014 and an MP of the Charente-Maritime's 1st constituency from April 1999 to June 2012, Maxime Bono was the president of the Communauté d'agglomération de La Rochelle from its creation to April 2014[4], when he was succeeded by Jean-François Fountaine.[5][6]

gollark: On the plus side, apparently `b(e(es|se)|se{2})|e(b(es|se)|e(bs|sb)|s(be|eb))|s(be{2}|e(be|eb))` matches all anagrams of `bees`.
gollark: I reduced it to just 651 states and ran it with pypy, yet it STILL runs slowly?!
gollark: Wow, converting my 1011-state finite state machine into a regex is slow.
gollark: Oh, they must be using the popular redux-saga library.
