Composition

Cantons

After the reorganisation of the cantons in France,[4] cantons are not subdivisions of the arrondissements so they could have communes that belong to different arrondissements.

In the arrondissement of Auch, there are four cantons where not all their "communes" are in the arrondissement: Astarac-Gimone, Fezensac, Gascogne-Auscitaine and Gimone-Arrats. The following table shows the distribution of the "communes" in the cantons and arrondissements:
