The University of Bordeaux is a public research university in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France, with campuses in Bordeaux, Dax, Gradignan, Périgueux, Pessac and Talence and more than 50,000 students. The original Université de Bordeaux was established by Pope Eugene IV on 7 June 1441, when Bordeaux was an English town. The National Convention abolished it in 1793 during the French Revolution, and it re-opened in 1896 under the law of 18 July 1896. In 1970 it was split into three universities, a fourth separated in 1995, and since 2014 the reunited University of Bordeaux, without Bordeaux III, has been organised into colleges and research departments. Its alumni include the political thinker Montesquieu, who took a law degree there in 1708.
