Bordeaux was one of the first Sephardic communities tolerated in France, formed from the sixteenth century onward by 'New Christians' of Iberian origin, Marranos who gradually and openly returned to Judaism. Merchants and traders, its members played an important role in Atlantic and colonial commerce, and the community obtained letters patent recognizing its status. At the time of the French Revolution, the Sephardic Jews of the Southwest were among the first to be granted full citizenship, before the Ashkenazim of the East. Bordeaux subsequently maintained an established community, integrated into the life of the city.
