A territorial subdivision of France. There are over 4000 cantons in modern France; most of these comprise two or more communes (see below), and serve mainly to define the constituencies used for the election of members of Departmental (county) councils (Conseils généraux). In rare cases, cantons may include just a single commune; and more rarely, the largest communes may be divided into more than one canton.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais. Agriculture Biologique > Canton
