Wine, Monks and Architechture in Saint Emilion
Saint Emilion is a beautiful little town, close to Bordeaux, within the Aquitaine region. It is so beautiful and special that it was named a World Heritage sight by UNESCO. Walking there is transporting yourself to the Romans times around the 2nd century or maybe to Emilion's times in the 8th century, the traveling confessor monk who settled there in a hermitage carved into a rock.
