Monolithic Church of Saint-Emilion

This is an absolutely wonderful piece of medieval architecture, and a real glimpse into the life of a hermit and his followers. The tour is wonderful and takes you on a journey from the small cave in which St Emilion to the mic. Church carved out of the rock by his followers and the devout. No photographs are allowed, but they’re plenty online. This is a fantastic tour and a must if you are going to st Emilion

Historical & landmark Church in Saint-Emilion This is a fantastic medieval building in the town center of St. Emilion. Beautiful architecture well worth your time to visit regardless of if you are religious or not. We really enjoyed visiting this village probably one of the nicest in this region, and this church is high on the little of amazing building you can see & visit.

Amazing history and architecture! This little town was established around 800AD. Every road is cobblestone so wear flat shoes with good grip. Try to see everything in this area. This is one of the oldest wine growing regions in the world.

I recommend getting the guided tour, it is worthwhile if you are in Saint-Emilion. Guide is available in many languages and goes through 4 different sections. The underground part is quite the spectacle. The workers were helpful and very knowledgeable on the church.

Best thing to do/see in town + not a rip off (unlike most things in saint emilion) You get given a key from the information desk and sent on your way. They only let a few people in at a time (around 6) so it’s not crowded at all! Make sure to go up the tower when you’re visiting!

A fascinating place but for someone a bit unsteady on their feet the paths and roads are made with pebbles and are very uneven.

What a beautiful town in the Bordeaux region of France. Small and charming. Just a 40 minute train ride from the city of Bordeaux

Beautiful and well preserved. Love all the history and still the roman wall. Built on eachother. Love the streets and the wine.

If you need something to do in between wine tastings... ok, rephrase that... even if you want to drink wine all day, go take this tour. It's a really fascinating 45 min tour of a unusual underground monolithic church, the cave of St Emillion, and more. Learn about Eleanor of Aquitaine, who managed to be both queen of France and England! The tour guide is awesome, knowledgable and entertaining. It's definitely well worth the €2. As the tour guide said, people come to St Emillion for the wine, but nobody knows about this UNESCO site, it's a real shame.
