Saint-Émilion is a historic town located in southwestern France's Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, particularly known for its exceptional wine heritage and medieval architecture. The town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1999, is built on a limestone plateau and features remarkable Romanesque churches and buildings carved into the rock.
The town's history dates back to the 8th century when a Benedictine monk, Émilion, settled in a hermitage carved into the rock. The surrounding area is characterized by vineyards that produce some of France's most prestigious wines, particularly red wines made predominantly from Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes. The town's cultural landscape is deeply intertwined with its wine-making tradition, featuring numerous wine châteaux and underground cellars.
Beyond its viticultural significance, Saint-Émilion preserves important historical monuments including its unique monolithic church, ancient ramparts, and the Collegiate Church with its beautiful cloister.
