At 674,843 square kilometres, France is the world's 40th-largest country after Myanmar. France is a member of The European Union and Paris is the capital of this nation. The sole official language of France is French. Since prehistoric times, France has been a crossroads of trade, migrations, and invasions.
Le Bouscat is a commune in the department of Gironde and the Aquitaine region of France. It is a suburb of the city of Bordeaux and is adjacent to it on the north side. Thus, it is a member of the metropolitan Urban Community of Bordeaux. According to the 1999 census, Le Bouscat had a population of 22,455 people.
Gironde is a department in the southwest of France named after the Gironde Estuary. Gironde was one of the original 83 departments 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.
Le Bouscat is also known as the town of best geographical environment and has traced its origins back to prehistoric times. Today, one can also learn about its history, from its earliest times and can also enjoy its natural beauty concealed by the beautiful landscapes.
