French Community of Belgium

The French Community of Belgium (French: Communauté française de Belgique, Dutch: Franse Gemeenschap van België) is one of the three official communities in Belgium along with the Flemish Community and the German speaking Community. Although its name could suggest that it is a community of French citizens in Belgium, it is not. The French Community of Belgium is an institution, not a group of people or inhabitants. The French Community of Belgium has its own parliament, government and administration.
