Single territorial collectivity

  Single territorial collectivity
  Status rejected by referendum

A single territorial collectivity (French: collectivité territoriale unique) is a chartered subdivision of France that exerts both the powers of a region and a department.

This status has been introduced in Mayotte in 2011, in Guiana and Martinique in 2015, and in Corsica in 2018.

The nature of a French single territorial collectivity is set forth in Article 72 of the French constitution of 1958, which provides for local autonomy within limits prescribed by law.[1][2]
