Description

The 5th constituency of the Saône-et-Loire covers the centre of the department and includes the majority of Chalon-sur-Saône as well as the town of Montceau-les-Mines noted for its now closed coal mines. Montceau-les-Mines was only added to the seat following the 2010 redistricting of French legislative constituencies.
