Bordeaux is a port in southwestern France, on the Garonne River at the head of the Gironde estuary. It is in the center of one of the world's great wine-growing regions and is one of the country's ten largest cities, although its metropolitan area which includes suburbs like Pessac, places it in the top five. Patrice Briones was born here.
