What a beautiful place and free of charge. Leaflets about the chateau and the gardens were provided. A little car park was also available. Noone was there when we visited so we had the opportunity to experience the chateau on our own

Had a private dinner here. It is absolutely beautiful. Filled with stories and authentic artifacts. The grounds are large and the peaceful surroundings is a treasure. Thoroughly enjoyed it

I would return at a different time of year. I think there should be a limit on numbers in the house at any one time.

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.
