Map Viewing Service (WMS) of the dataset: Canton within the meaning of INSEE — Haute-Garonne

The canton within the meaning of INSEE is an administrative subdivision of a department.
The canton is a territorial subdivision of the borough. It is the electoral district in which a general councillor is elected.
The cantons, like the departments, were created by the law of 22 December 1789. In most cases, the cantons comprise several municipalities. But the cantons do not always respect the municipal boundaries: the most populated municipalities belong to several cantons. A township belongs to one and only one arrondissement.

Layer different from that of pseudo-cantons of the BD Carto layer #58 N_CANTON_BDC_ddd) because the latter contains the canton of attachment of the municipalities (finer definition to be provided)

法国国家统计与经济研究所（INSEE）所界定的县（canton），为省（department）下辖的行政分区。
县（canton）是专区（arrondissement）的领土次级分区，同时也是选举省议员的选举选区。
与省相同，县（canton）由1789年12月22日的法律设立。多数情况下，单个县下辖多个市镇（municipality）。但县的边界并不始终与市镇边界保持一致：人口规模最大的市镇会被划入多个县。单个市镇仅隶属于唯一的专区（arrondissement）。
本图层不同于大地形数据库（BD Carto）图层#58 N_CANTON_BDC_ddd所包含的伪县（pseudo-cantons）图层，原因在于后者收录了市镇所挂靠的县的相关信息（有待提供更精细的定义说明）。
