A window on Bordeaux
Bordeaux is a picturesque, 18th century port in the southwest of
France, with its inhabitants, or
Bordelais,
numbering approximately one million. It is the capital of the Aquitaine region,
as well as the prefecture of the Gironde department. Occupying both banks of the
majestic Garonne River, Bordeaux’s exquisite architecture is as compelling as
its cultural offering.
A UNESCO World
Heritage Site, it is
"an outstanding
urban and architectural ensemble". The city has a long and colourful history,
with evidence of early settlers dating back to Gallo-Roman times.
