The arrondissement of Nice is an arrondissement of France, in the Alpes-Maritimes department, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Its capital is the city of Nice.

History[change]

When the Alpes-Maritimes department was created on 1793, Nice was part of that original department.[1]

Geography[change]

The arrondissement of Nice is the most northern of the Alpes-Maritimes department. It is bordered to the northeast and east by the Piedmont region (Italy), to the southeast by the Liguria region (Italy), to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, to the southwest by the Grasse arrondissement and to the west by the Var department.

The arrondissement of Nice is the largest in area of the two arrondissements of the department, 3,067.4 square kilometres (1,184.3 square miles), but the one with fewer people living in it (523,267 inhabitants).

Composition[change]

Cantons[change]

After the reorganisation of the cantons in France,[2] cantons are not subdivisions of the arrondissements so they could have communes that belong to different arrondissements.

In the arrondissement of Nice, there are only two cantons where not all their "communes" are in the arrondissement: Nice-3 and Vence. The following table shows the distribution of the "communes" in the cantons and arrondissements:
