The capital of the Aquitaine region, Bordeaux is a city of art, history and trade nestled on either side of the Garonne River. The city has fully embraced the 21^st century while preserving its cultural and gastronomic traditions and fondness of sports, nature and quality of life.

Bordeaux owes its fortune and importance to its wines and to its port. Architecturally, the city is an outstanding example of 18th century stone-carving, with the emblazoned and scalloped façades of the Bourse, Grand Théâtre and Place Royale. Elsewhere, narrow streets with a medieval layout form dark old neighbourhoods with a popular culture.

The city, which became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007, is being progressively redesigned as part of an urban planning project to improve community life for all its inhabitants.
