Do you have a special name for the residents of your town or village?
It would be interesting to hear from you.
Arronnais
Le Puy Sainte Reparadeā¦ā¦ā¦Puchien / Puchieene
Before I was in La Celle St Cloudā¦ Celloclodoaldian
Sourdeval-ais
Valley of the Deaf-ite
I think Iād be a GravĆ©en if I was over full time
A rather obvious Loupiannaise from Loupia.
There is a gentilĆ© for every commune and it is a āthingā to know them.
I worked with a team of builders form the Savoie, that told me of a village called Bellecombe. Apparently, les hommes were called, les bellecomboit & les femmes les bellecombaiā¦ Dinner party rules, after all weāre not, in the billiards room & having a snifter.
Paul,
you put up a link for regional areas? Not communes! ???
Drill down through the links, the communes are all listed (right down to the villages).

Yes, you can.
I simply typed the name of my commune and, as I was finishingā¦ it came up automaticallyā¦(then I clicked on it) ā¦ so much quicker for me at leastā¦
Crevandiaux !
We donāt have one (that I could find, mind you my OH always says I donāt look properlyš) 23500 Gioux
Not all the Communes/hamlets have a ānicknameāā¦ you are not aloneā¦ 
It isnāt necessarily emotive, it is just the name for someone from there. Eg someone from Foix is a fuxĆ©en. Crevandiaux will be something like crevandolien. Bordeaux bordelais, Gioux giouxien, limoges limougeot, St Etienne stephanois, BesanƧon bisontin etc. Sometimes they are a bit weird eg Fontainebleau belifontainā¦
It is a typical general knowledge question in quizzes 
(ps for Marseille it is usually held to be connard)

The place weāre moving to is called Bouteilles, so goodness knows what weāre called. Whatās the French for Bottlers?
Bouteillais/es I should think.
To bottle is embouteiller or mettre en bouteille but the gentilƩ means pertaining to rather than doing, if you see what I mean.
I was an Albinoles and before that a Saint-Amantaises and before that a Saint-AndrƩennes.
Iām a Sioracoise
