Ceinture rouge

Worker communes in France

The Ceinture Rouge refers to the communes of the Île-de-France that were dominated by the French Communist Party from the 1920s until the 1980s. These communes are those that are traditionally working-class areas whose residents were employed in the heavy and light industries that once dominated the economic landscape of the Petite Couronne and large population centers in the outer departments of the Île-de-France.
