Video: St Emilion
Deep in the heart of wine country, St Emilion is well worth exploring if you find yourself in the neighbourhood this summer.
Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, St Emilion is a picturesque hillside town replete with churches, monasteries, and mind-boggling views. The town’s role as a key wine producer in the Bordeaux regions means that oenophiles can lose hours pottering around the many vineyards and caves.
St Emilion is also a subterranean attraction of sorts, with an underground pottery museum and historic underground quarries that have been opened to the public.
For seemingly endless suggestions of things to do in St Emilion, visit the website of the local tourist office. For a sneak preview of the town itself, check out the video below.
