French term

C.D.C.

French to English Law/Patents Law (general) Abbreviation on notary public's headed paper
"Jean-Marie Duval
Marie-Claire Vogue
Notaire
12345 Trouville
Téléphone : ...
Télécopie : ...

C.D.C. 0000123456X"

(Names have been changed to protect the innocent.)

Usually with abbreviations, I have some clue, but here, zero.

It's probably irrelevent, but I need to translate it nevertheless.

Caisse des Dépôts

Dans le contexte des notaires je dirais qu'il s'agit de la caisse des depots.

Note from asker:
Quite, Graham! I might put the full name and not the abbreviation though; of course it's completely irrelevant to the subject of the document, but I suppose we get obsessive about these things. In any case, thanks to all, now get off your computers and go out and get some fresh air on a Saturday afternoon!!! ;-)))
Peer comment(s):
agree Tony M : Yes, it's their official number with the CDC; it's a proper name, so doesn't need to be translated! / It's akin to 'VAT n°', so surely you wouldn't put 'Value Added Tax number' (on a l/head)?

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Yes, confirmed by a friend of mine who works in real estate in Dijon. Thanks to all. I did also use the translation in the Council of Europe Legal Dictionary, "Bank for Official Deposits", for completeness' sake, even though the term was completely irrelevant to the purpose of document."

Communauté De Communes

If it's about the geographical area?

CDC : Code des douanes communautaires

CDC : Caisse des dépôts et consignations

http://www.u-paris2.fr/45446059/0/fiche___pagelibre/&RH=1197...
These two are also possiblities in a legal context but without a more specific context it would be impossible to tell.

Out of the three, the most likely would probably be Code des douanes communautaires

neutral Tony M : No, not your headword answer, nor your 3rd alternative; Wioletta has chosen the right one here!
