“Saint- Emilion” is a breathtaking village in south western France. This small commuity much like the rest of the country is stuffed with History, that can be seen throughout every single inch of it’s landscape.It borders the urban Bardeux, leaving this commutiy to be more rural.  Although this town is not commonly thought of when France is mentioned, it is a gorgeous part of the country. Tourists are drawn, to all the history, scenery and goods this village has to offer.

Travelers venture to “Saint-Emilion” for numerous reasons. Some seek “Saint-Emilion” for its lengthy vineyards and it’s fine wine. Others visit this community to taste their fresh baguettes and macaroons. Some might travel to “Saint-Emilion” for  it’s rustic buildings and, slanted streets. People also use “Saint-Emilion” as a shopping spot, this town has many small locally owned shops with various homemade goods. Why not find your own reason to love this french paradise.

Climate is  beautiful thing in “ Saint Emilion”. The temperature during the winter is warm and rarely cools off. However in the summer we start to get dry and hot temperature coming into play. This makes it an ideal place for those who prefer warmer weather than cooler weather.

“Saint-Emilion” is a not simply a unique town, but an vintage one as well. Almost everywhere in France has a vintage feel, but “Saint-Emilion” takes it to a whole new level. With its slanted streets, dated buildings, churches and even a castle! The large and enchanting castle that is located in this amazing town is named “ Saint-Christophe Des Bardes”.The views of stone pathed streets, and natural vineyards are breathtaking at the least. One of my favorite parts of “ Saint-Emilion” is it has many hills or pieces of land above the rest. This makes it easy to really take its scenery.  Maybe you will see rustic buildings and churches, or perhaps you will see it’s fresh green vineyards.

Overall who wouldn’t want to see such an important and gorgeous part of France. This country isn't just the Eiffel tower and Paris. It has many other small gems like this that can change the way you see France.
