===Cantons===
After the reorganisation of the cantons in France,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=JORFTEXT000028655967 |title=Décret n° 2014-218 du 21 février 2014 portant délimitation des cantons dans le département de la Dordogne |publisher=Legifrance.gouv.fr |language=French |accessdate=14 April 2015 |date=21 February 2014 }}</ref> cantons are not subdivisions of the ''arrondissements'' so they could have ''communes'' that belong to different ''arrondissements''.

The following table shows the distribution of the "communes" in the cantons and ''arrondissements'':
