An arrondissement (French pronunciation:[aʁɔ̃dismɑ̃]ⓘ)[1] is a level of administrative division in France generally corresponding to the territory overseen by a subprefect. As of 2019[update], the 101 French departments were divided into 332 arrondissements (including 12 overseas).[2] An additional arrondissement was established in 2022 in French Guiana, bringing the total to 333 with 13 overseas.
The capital of an arrondissement is called a subprefecture. When an arrondissement contains the prefecture (capital) of the department, that prefecture is the capital of the arrondissement, acting both as a prefecture and as a subprefecture. Arrondissements are further divided into cantons and communes.
The term arrondissement can be roughly translated into English as district.[3]
