of the U
UNESCO world
w

h
The
T origins of the townn date from the 8th cenntury, when Emilion, a travelling
t
coonfessor, cam
me to settle in a
hermitage
h
caarved into thhe rock. It would
w
appeaar that the Romans
R
planted vines in what was to

E
as eaarly as the seecond centu
ury A.D. Todday, many winemaking ch
hâteaux welccome visitorrs for tastinggs, to
provide
p
an innsight into ann appellation of internatio
onal repute.
The
T charm o
of Saint-Emilion also lies in its cobbleed lanes, with the steep slopes so tyypical of the Middle Agess, the
Romanesque
R
e church and
d above all the Monolitthic church which is en
ntirely carvedd out in the
e limestone cliff,
making
