Territories44 (French: Territoires44, T44) is a regionalist political movement in the Loire-Atlantique department.

History

Territories44 was founded in February 2017 by a group of elected officials, primarily from rural areas, from the Loire-Atlantique department who wished to present a united voice. They were mostly apolitical elected officials from rural communes who were concerned by the rise of National Rally in the department.

Early members of T44 included Senator Ronan Dantec, departmental councillors, mayors and future deputy Jean-Claude Raux.

By 2020, 15% of mayors in the Loire-Atlantique were members or supported by T44. And, by 2023, T44 was represented in 20% of all municipal councils in the department.

In the 2022 French legislative election, Jean-Claude Raux, the mayor of Saffré, was supported by The Ecologists to be the NUPES candidate for the 6th constituency of Loire-Atlantique. Raux was elected with 52.89% of the vote defeating Jordan Esnault of LREM. Raux was re-elected in 2024 in a three horse race with 40.06%.
