History

edit

The arrondissement of Carcassonne was created in 1800.[5] At the January 2017 reorganization of the arrondissements of Aude, it lost 27 communes to the arrondissement of Narbonne, and it gained seven communes from the arrondissement of Limoux.[6]

As a result of the reorganisation of the cantons of France which came into effect in 2015, the borders of the cantons are no longer related to the borders of the arrondissements. The cantons of the arrondissement of Carcassonne were, as of January 2015:[4]

  1. Alzonne
  2. Belpech
  3. Capendu
  4. Carcassonne-1
  5. Carcassonne-2-Nord
  6. Carcassonne-2-Sud
  7. Carcassonne-3
  8. Castelnaudary-Nord
  9. Castelnaudary-Sud
  10. Fanjeaux
  11. Lagrasse
  12. Mas-Cabardès
  13. Montréal
  14. Mouthoumet
  15. Peyriac-Minervois
  16. Saissac
  17. Salles-sur-l'Hers
