History

The arrondissement of Rennes was created in 1800.[4] In 2010 it lost the six cantons of Argentré-du-Plessis, Châteaubourg, La Guerche-de-Bretagne, Retiers, Vitré-Est and Vitré-Ouest to the new arrondissement of Fougères-Vitré.[5] At the January 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Ille-et-Vilaine, it gained four communes from the arrondissement of Fougères-Vitré and one commune from the arrondissement of Redon, and it lost five communes to the arrondissement of Fougères-Vitré and seven communes to the arrondissement of Saint-Malo.[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 Rennes were, as of January 2015:[7]
