Gironde, estuary, western France, in Gironde Department. The largest in France and one of the largest in western Europe, the estuary is formed by the confluence of the Garonne and Dordogne rivers near the Bay of Biscay. Its widest point, near the mouth, is about 10 km (6 mi). It is divided by small islands and mud banks into an eastern and a western channel. At the mouth of the estuary stands a famous lighthouse, the Phare de Cordouan, built in 1585 and enlarged in the 18th century.
