Communes Rurales Autogérées refers to a constellation of rural communities in France that practice collective self-management of land, housing, and local decision-making outside or at the margins of formal municipal governance. These communes emphasize horizontal assemblies, shared ownership, agroecological production, and the revival of rural commons as alternatives to extractivist and centralized models. Emerging especially since the late 20th century, they represent contemporary experiments in grassroots democracy and communal autonomy.
