Christmas Morning in Saint-Emilion

Hard to believe it's been only a few months ago that I visited this beautiful village.

Saint-Emilion is a charming French medieval village located in the heart of the famous Bordeaux wine area. It is a very unique site were world-famous wineries and beautiful architecture join to form a perfect match.

Legend tells us about a monk, Emilion, from Brittany who fled from Vannes, his hometown, to seek refuge in one of the natural caves in a place called Ascum bas (former name of the village) in the 8th century.
