Thanks for correcting my spelling :) ... and my accent <_< I pronounce "Bordeaux" like in "eaux" but I guess I haven't heard it pronounced very often. I grew up in Greece and I speak French from an early age and haven't lived long in France so there's nuances I miss probably.

Bordeaux should be pronounced like eaux so that part is correct :) I just mean that Bordo would be the same, it's all closed o sounds. In the north and the south east (Toulouse, not Bordeaux) people tend to only use the open o sound though (especially obvious since Toulouse's nickname is la ville rose which should be a closed o) but that's not standard. Interesting that you're from Greece, I have met quite a few Greeks who speak rather good French and it's always fun to notice how much of French comes from Greek.
