Subprefectures (
French: sous-préfectures) are the administrative towns of
arrondissements in France that do not contain the
prefecture for its
department. Subprefecture is also the name given to the building which houses the administarive headquarters for the arrondissement.The civil servant in charge of a subprefecture is the subprefect, assisted by a general secretary. Between May 1982 and February 1988, subprefects were known instead by the title "commissaire adjoint de la République".Where the administration of an arrondissement is carried out from a prefecture, the general secretary to the prefect carries out duties equivalent to those of the subprefect.
