The 1st constituency of the Bas-Rhin is a French legislative constituency in the Bas-Rhin département, Alsace.

Description

The constituency includes the centre and immediate northern and southern cantons of Strasbourg. All the cantons are held by parties of the left; three for the PS and one for The Greens. It is therefore no surprise that the seat has returned a PS member to the National Assembly since 1997.
