It is located in the center of the Girondedepartment, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaineregion, in South West France. It represents about half of the department's population. It was created in January 2015, replacing the previous Communauté urbaine de Bordeaux. It brings together 28 municipalities, and covers an area of 578.3 km (223.3 sq mi). Its population was 801,041 in 2018, of which 257,068 resided in Bordeaux proper.

Bordeaux Métropole encompasses only the central part of the metropolitan area of Bordeaux (see infobox at Bordeaux article for the metropolitan area). Communes further away from the center of the metropolitan area have formed their own intercommunal structures, such as:
