"Saint-Émilion: Walking Tour and Discovery of Secrets and Legends"｜France

Discover Saint-Émilion in a different way with Gentleguide!

Learn about the fascinating history of this UNESCO-listed medieval city. Your tour starts in front of the Maison du Vin, where I will welcome you and present the tour program. We will begin by immersing ourselves in the origins of Saint-Emilion, recalling the legend of the hermit monk who gave it its name.

As we walk through the cobbled streets, we will discover the remarkable architecture of the golden stone houses and the remains of its medieval past. You will be amazed by the Tour du Roy, a testament to the power of the local lords, before reaching the impressive underground church carved into the rock.

We will then continue to the ramparts, which offer an exceptional panorama of the vineyards that make Saint-Émilion world-famous. I will tell you about the city's golden age during the Anglo-Gascon period, when its wine was exported to the court of England.

Finally, we will end this walk with a gourmet stop, mentioning another local specialty: the famous Saint-Emilion macaron, whose recipe dates back to the 17th century.
