History

The arrondissement of Angoulême was created in 1800.[3] On 1 January 2008 the four cantons of Aigre, Mansle, Ruffec and Villefagnan that previously belonged to the arrondissement of Angoulême were added to the arrondissement of Confolens, and the canton of Rouillac to the arrondissement of Cognac.[3][4] At the January 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Charente, it lost 14 communes to the arrondissement of Cognac and 15 communes to the arrondissement of Confolens, and it gained two communes from the arrondissement of Cognac.[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 Angoulême were, as of January 2015:[6]

  1. Angoulême-Est
  2. Angoulême-Nord
  3. Angoulême-Ouest
  4. Aubeterre-sur-Dronne
  5. Blanzac-Porcheresse
  6. Chalais
  7. La Couronne
  8. Gond-Pontouvre
  9. Hiersac
  10. Montbron
  11. Montmoreau-Saint-Cybard
  12. La Rochefoucauld
  13. Ruelle-sur-Touvre
  14. Saint-Amant-de-Boixe
  15. Soyaux
  16. Villebois-Lavalette
gollark: Probably this will improve when/if they make a GPT-4 with even more parameters and ideally some way to get around the context length limit.
gollark: I think it's kind of neat but also not hugely useful, inasmuch as it:- generates somewhat bad code, and without awareness of your preferred style and architecture- may not actually be faster than just writing the code yourself, since you have to specify things fairly precisely and filter its output for it to be any good
gollark: With a license comment, except it generated the wrong one.
gollark: It had an issue where it emitted the Quake fast inverse square root thing verbatim.
gollark: I finetuned GPT-2 117M on my Discord messages one time. It only needed a CSV file trivially generated from the GDPR data dump.
