History

The arrondissement of Cahors was created in 1800.[4] At the January 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Lot, it lost two communes to the arrondissement of Figeac and 18 communes to the arrondissement of Gourdon.[5]

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 Cahors were, as of January 2015:[6]

  1. Cahors-Nord-Est
  2. Cahors-Nord-Ouest
  3. Cahors-Sud
  4. Castelnau-Montratier
  5. Catus
  6. Cazals
  7. Lalbenque
  8. Lauzès
  9. Limogne-en-Quercy
  10. Luzech
  11. Montcuq
  12. Puy-l'Évêque
  13. Saint-Géry
