I recommend you take the time to take the one-hour tour around this ancient and historical church with it’s 53m high bell tower constructed in the early 12th century), whilst in St. Émilion. Led by our knowledgeable Lydie, we explored the catacombs beneath and then through to the huge Church. It was listed as a world heritage site in 1999 by UNESCO.

The Jurisdiction of Saint-Emilion (including the town and the territory of the 8 villages united under the authority of the medieval Jurade) was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage in 1999 to preserve, restore and share this outstanding heritage! Covered in vines and bordered with rivers, along woody slopes and picturesque roads, the Jurisdiction of Saint-Emilion stretches out over 75 km² around a particularly well-preserved medieval town and is the ideal place to stay. Only 30 minutes from Bordeaux and 1h from Bergerac or Périgueux, Saint-Emilion is the perfect starting point to tour around the vineyards of Bordeaux and the Perigord district. Legend has it that the town bears the name of a Breton monk that performed miracles while living an exemplary life. In order to retire from social life, he settled in 750 in a natural grotto, which can still be visited nowadays in the heart of the town!

Our guide gave us the history of this wonderful church from the 12th century. The stained glass windows are magnificent but also take in the story of the pieces or art around the church. No wonder the city of Saint-Emilion is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Be sure to take in the underground church from the 9th and 12nd centuries, along with the catacombs.

The bell tower is the highest landmark in St Emillion and from its top you get to enjoy fab 360-degree views of the town and surrounding countryside. It is a bit of a slog - up a narrow flight of some 200 steps - but if find yourself getting out of breath there are a couple of levels along the way at which you can have a rest. And the views from the lower levels of the tower are pretty impressive too. Cost is a reasonable €2 per person and you pay at the tourist office.

This is worth the climb to the top. 2 euros later I climb the narrow steps . It is ancient structure dating back to the 12th century. Difficult to stop taking photos. There are posters on the wall to tell the story of where we are and the sites below.
