The '''8th constituency of Yvelines''' is a French legislative [[Constituency (France)|constituency]] in the [[Yvelines]] [[departments of France|''département'']].
==Description==
The 8th constituency of [[Yvelines]] is located in the north of the department including the towns of [[Mantes-la-Jolie]] and [[Mantes-la-Ville]] south of the [[Seine]] and [[Limay, Yvelines|Limay]] on its northern bank. The two parts of the constituency are linked by two bridges across the [[Seine]] over the [[Île aux Dames]]. The three towns within the constituency form one urban area.
The constituency is one of only two in [[Yvelines]] held by the [[Socialist Party (France)|PS]] at the [[2012 French legislative election|2012 election]]. Historically it has always been something of a marginal seat swapping between right and left in line with the national trend.
