Description

The 1st Constituency of the Seine-Maritime covers the historic city of Rouen. The seat was expanded as a result of the 2010 redistricting of French legislative constituencies to include Mont-Saint-Aignan, a northern suburb of the city. Mont-Saint-Aignan is noted for its large student population as a result of being home to both the University of Rouen and the NEOMA Business School.

After 19 years of centre right representation the seat swung back to the Socialist Party in 2012 before then falling to the centrist En Marche! in 2017.
