History of Montauban Arrondissement

This arrondissement is made up of smaller areas called communes. Think of communes as small towns or villages, each with its own local government.
Cantons and Communes
In France, "cantons" are groups of communes used for elections. Since a recent change, cantons are not always fully inside one arrondissement. This means some cantons might have communes that belong to different arrondissements.
For example, parts of the Beaumont-de-Lomagne, Castelsarrasin, Montech, and Pays de Serres Sud-Quercy cantons are in the Montauban arrondissement, while other parts are in the Castelsarrasin arrondissement.
The table below shows how the communes are spread out in different cantons across the two arrondissements:
