Did you know...that there are 10,000 chateaux in Bordeaux?! Bordeaux wine is named for the city and has been produced there since the 8th century. This city is known as the wine capital of the world. But did you also know that Bordeaux is one of Europe's military space and aeronautics research and construction centers? It is also a university town, with four universities devoted to natural science, medicine, liberal arts, and political sciences and law. Quite a city to check out!
