Beautiful and easily accessible castle ruins. Great views from here and the other nearby viewing points. Part of a wonderful vitality tour that we went on a few years ago. A nice little rainbow was visible at the end today. Only a few pictures were taken with my smartphone, as is often the case with an “adult” camera. Whether I will publish the pictures taken with it depends entirely on whether I forget it after editing or not... ?

Small, fine castle ruins. Parking possible at the hiking car park below the ruins. Information board and seating available. The facility is maintained on a voluntary basis. Sour, neat.

Saint-Émilion Old Town

Saint-Émilion is a picturesque medieval village renowned for its well-preserved architecture and vineyards. The town and surrounding vineyards was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, owing to its long, living history of wine-making, Romanesque churches and ruins stretching all along steep and narrow streets.

An oppidum was built on the hill overlooking the present-day city in Gaulish times, before the regions was annexed by Augustus in 27 BC. The Romans planted vineyards in what was to become Saint-Émilion as early as the 2nd century. In the 4th century, the Latin poet Ausonius lauded the fruit of the bountiful vine.

Because the region was located on the route of the Camino de Santiago, many monasteries and churches were built during the Middle Ages, and in 1199, while under Plantagenet rule, the town was granted full rights.
