For an unforgettable excursion, head to Saint-Émilion, just an hour from Bordeaux. This charming medieval town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is famous for its divine wines and rich historical heritage.
Stroll the cobblestone streets, admire the historic buildings and marvel at the picturesque views of the surrounding vineyards. Don't miss the underground monolithic church, a unique architectural marvel carved directly into the limestone rock – it's like entering a magical cave!
Then, head to the many wine châteaux in the region. Sign up for guided tours to discover the well-kept secrets of winemaking, savor prestigious wines (Château Cheval blanc, Château Pavie, Château Figeac, Château Pétrus in Pomerol...) and learn more about the ancestral techniques that make these famous wines.
Saint-Émilion is also a true haven for nature lovers. Stroll through the vineyards, hike the surrounding hills, or rent a bike to explore these picturesque landscapes at your own pace.
In short, get ready for an epicurean and bucolic adventure!
