French term or phrase: à l'entête de la mairie
Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire "à l'entête de la mairie"?
Malheureusement je n'ai pas beaucoup de contexte, juste ça:
Ce sont les dossiers qui concernent l’occupation allemande au Plessin-Robinson, donc à l’entete de la mairie du Plessis-Robinson.
ça veut dire que c'est "marqué" par la mairie en haut de page? Et dans ce cas comment est-ce qu'on pourrait le dire en anglais? Merci

official documents from Le Plessis-Robinson Town Hall
Explanation:
Përhaps not LITERALLY on their headed notepaper, but the idea is clearly that these 'dossiers' comprise official documents from the mairie.

Note that in EN-GB, Le Plessis-Robinson is a simple town, not a 'city' as such

neutral  Tony M: Note that in European EN, Le Plessis-Robinson does not qualify as a 'city' / 5× as many ghits with 'town', from quality docs / translations.

  -> Sorry, but it's commonly referred to as the "City of...", when researched./No doubt, and I translate into American English, anyway./My rendition found on official websites.

  -> No, that's too slavishly literal; you can't assume all the documents in this (historic) file are literally on letterhead, but are just officialized as being documents from the Mairie, as distinct from random pieces of paper.
