Cenon is a community in Gironde and the Aquitaine region of France. It is a suburb of the city of Bordeaux, and is adjacent to it on the east side.

Gironde is a departement in the southwest of France named after the Gironde Estuary.
Gironde was one of the original 83 departements created during the French Revolution on March 4, 1790. It was created from parts of the former provinces of Guyenne and Gascogne. From 1793 to 1795, the name was changed to Bec-d Ambes to avoid the association with the revolutionary party, the Girondins. The famous hotels in the city are Hotel Balladins Bordeaux Centre Confort, Citadines Apart hotel Bordeaux Meriadeck, Hotel Continental, Amarys Royal Saint Jean and Appart Valley Bordeaux.
