The territorial reform has led to new municipalities being established and the number of inter-municipalities being reduced. As of 1 January 2017, the map of the sub-départemental authorities concerned by the Loire Valley UNESCO World Heritage site has changed and now consists of 153 municipalities and 17 inter-municipalities.
