French term

commune de rattachement

French to English Other Geography French geography
Alfortville est une ville jeune, créée en 1885. Jusqu’à cette date, le territoire, au confluent de la Seine et de la Marne, est un secteur de Maisons-Alfort, composé de terres peu fertiles et fréquemment inondées par les deux cours d’eau. Cette configuration, a priori défavorable, le met en marge de sa commune de rattachement.

It has been asked before but the context was the post office. Here it is geography.

TIA for answering!

Non, chef-lieu would be concerning the département.
Gad Kohenov (asker) Dec 16, 2013:
et alors mchd... chef lieu?
RachidAmrani Dec 16, 2013:
As far as I understood, due to the "configuration" mentioned above, the City is less important than the rest of the region.

local municipality

The municipality or township to which it belongs. For once the French formulation is concise... I guess that they are saying that before 1885 it was attached to Maison-Alfort (sa commune de rattachement) and was not highly regarded.
