History

edit

The arrondissement of Privas was created in 1800.[4] In 2007 it lost the four cantons of Antraigues-sur-Volane, Aubenas, Vals-les-Bains and Villeneuve-de-Berg to the arrondissement of Largentière.[4][5] At the January 2017 reorganization of the arrondissements of Ardèche, it gained eight communes from the arrondissement of Tournon-sur-Rhône and it lost five communes to the arrondissement of Tournon-sur-Rhône and two communes to the arrondissement of Largentière.[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 Privas were, as of January 2015:[7]

  1. Bourg-Saint-Andéol
  2. Chomérac
  3. Privas
  4. Rochemaure
  5. Saint-Pierreville
  6. Viviers
  7. La Voulte-sur-Rhône
