Bordeaux is a port city in the south-west of France, with 925,253 inhabitants in the metropolitan area at the 1999 census, now an estimated million inhabitants in 2006. It is the capital of the Aquitaine region, as well as the prefecture (administrative capital) of the Gironde department. Its inhabitants are called Bordelais.
Bordeaux wine draws its name from the city around which it has been produced since the 8th century. Thus the city is known as the world's wine capital, hosting the wine industry's biggest event worldwide: Vinexpo.
Bordeaux is the centre of much military, space and aeronautics research and construction.
With almost 100,000 students, the city's university is renowned for its research units in crop science, new materials and nanotechnology.
