Cantons and Communes
France has smaller areas called cantons. After a change in how cantons are organized, they are no longer just parts of one district. This means a canton can include small towns (called communes) that belong to different districts.
In the Mirande district, there are some cantons where not all their communes are within this district. For example, parts of the Astarac-Gimone and Fezensac cantons are in other districts.
