This is what St Emilion is famous for and it's definitely worth going in to find out more about it's history.

I had the pleasure to see the Monolithic Church in Saint-Emillion in the Bordeaux region of France. The town is awesome as it retains it's 8th to 16th century feel throughout. But the church was awe inspiring. The church itself is built from a single limestone block that is partially exposed at the surface. There is a tour at least... More

A place to breath in the beautiful architecture with the smell of ancient vin yards. Tripping across the Dordogne and it’s breath taking views, from Bordeaux to Bergerac, St Emilion is a short drive away and a ‘must’ couple of days stay.

St. Emilion is a lovely old village about an hour from Bordeaux by train. We were staying in Bordeaux and wanted to visit the wine country of St Emilion so we booked the train from Gare St.Jean to the village. Of course when we arrived there was no taxi, so we hiked about 4 km up along the vineyards, to... More
