The 7th constituency of the Nord is a French legislative constituency in the Nord département.

Description

Nord's 7th constituency includes the western portion of Roubaix, the second largest city in Nord-Pas-de-Calais, as well as most of Lannoy which forms its eastern suburbs.

The seat has historically swung between left and right with the Socialist Party in control throughout the 1970s and 1980s. In more recent years, however, the seat has returned the conservative Francis Vercamer originally for the UMP but now for the New Centre party.
