Where did Montesquieu go to school?

Montesquieu’s formal education began at home and in his local village before he was sent away to school in 1700. He attended the Collège de Juilly, located near Paris, where he studied until 1705. Following his time at Juilly, he continued his studies at the faculty of law at the University of Bordeaux, graduating and becoming an advocate in 1708. Later in his life, he also sought to further his education through an extensive grand tour of Europe, which he considered a formative period for his intellectual development.12
