Bordeaux is located in the Aquitaine region of southwestern France, on the banks of the Garonne River.
The city is surrounded by an important wine-growing area that spans the Médoc, Graves, Entre-Deux-Mers and Sauternes regions.
The city's location at the mouth of the Garonne River makes it an important river port and access to the Atlantic Ocean.
In addition, the city is located in an area where major transport routes such as the A10, A62 and A63 intersect, making it easily accessible by car from other parts of France and Europe.
Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport is the main entry point for international travelers, and the city also has a high-speed train (TGV) station that connects to Paris and other major cities in France and Europe.
