History
[edit]The arrondissement of Rennes was created in 1800.[4] In 2010 it lost the six cantons of Argentré-du-Plessis, Châteaubourg, La Guerche-de-Bretagne, Retiers, Vitré-Est and Vitré-Ouest to the new arrondissement of Fougères-Vitré.[5] At the January 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Ille-et-Vilaine, it gained four communes from the arrondissement of Fougères-Vitré and one commune from the arrondissement of Redon, and it lost five communes to the arrondissement of Fougères-Vitré and seven communes to the arrondissement of Saint-Malo.[6]
