The 100 French '' Départements '' are divided into 342 arrondissements. The capital of an arrondissement is called '' Sous-préfecture ''. When an arrondissement contains the '' Préfecture '' (capital) of the ''département'', that ''préfecture'' is the capital of the arrondissement, acting both as a ''préfecture'' and as a ''sous-préfecture''. Arrondissements are further divided into Cantons and Commune s. The cities of Paris , Lyon and Marseille are also divided into Municipal Arrondissements , not to be confused with the arrondissements dealt with in this article. SEE ALSO
