| On the Garonne River, the port of Bordeaux, the capital of Aquitaine, is one of the world's most important wine- producing areas. It attracts visitors to the offices of wine exporters here, most of whom welcome guests. Bordeaux is a city of warehouses, factories, mansions, and suburbs, as well as wide quays 8km (5 miles) long. Now the fifth-largest French city, Bordeaux belonged to the British for 300 years and even today is considered the most "un-French" of French cities. |
