Lormont
France, officially the French Republic, is a country whose metropolitan territory is located in Western Europe and comprises various overseas islands and territories which are located in other regions. Metropolitan France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. 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.
Lormont is a community in the department of Gironde and the Aquitaine region of France. It is a suburb of the city of Bordeaux, and is neighboring to it on the northeast. As a result, it is a member of the metropolitan Urban Community of Bordeaux. In the 1999 census, the city had a population of 21,343. Gironde is a department in the southwest of France named after the Gironde Estuary. It was one of the original 83 departments produced during the French Revolution on March 4th, 1790. It was created from parts of the former provinces of Gascogne and Guyenne. From 1793 to 1795, the name was changed to Bec-d'Ambes to circumvent the association with the revolutionary party named as the Girondins.
A city known for its historic myths and traditions, scenic beauty, luxurious hotels and cottages, Lormont is one of the favorite holiday destinations for most of the vacation lovers.
