An ascent towards the ruins of the castle which provides a panoramic view of the picturesque village of Canac. For photo enthusiasts, the site offers a beautiful view of the hamlet: a real postcard!

An enchanting place at the bend of the Plo de Canac hiking trail. The castle offers (literally) a window onto the valley and rewards us for the steep climb that leads there. I recommend it to walkers who like to mix hiking and heritage!

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.
