Bordeaux strategic Location

Designed in the XVIII century, the beauty and the unity of style of Bordeaux’s architectural heritage have been honoured in June 2007: Bordeaux has been officially included on the list of UNESCO World Heritage!

Great capital of wine, from the gold of the Sauternes to the ruby of the Saint Emilion, Bordeaux is at the front of one of the most dynamic French region, attracting ever more companies, tourists and inhabitants every year.

Bordeaux’s cultural and natural resources are two of the reasons of its attractivity:
Surrounded by the world famous Bordeaux’s vineyards (110 000 hectares), the endless beaches and dunes of white sand of the Atlantic coast, and the largest pine forest of Europe, Bordeaux benefits from a privileged natural location.

Bordeaux is also an important European Pole of high technologies and international exchanges : Bordeaux and its surrounding cities, representing a population of over 700 000 inhabitants, has always been at the forefront of progress and modernism in fields as varied as aeronautics, electronics, materials and of course in the field of wine and food industries. The city, with its 7 500 researchers and 70 000 students has developped outstanding skills in sciences and technologies.
