The ancient feel to this hillside town is unmistakable. Walking up the hillside, you see the steeple of the church peering over the buildings, somehow keeping a watchful eye over the town itself and the surrounding vineyards. Even though it feels quiet and cozy, St Emilion hosts thousands of tourists each year for wine tours and tastings. Walking through the city, you’ll stumble on open tasting rooms around every corner. It’s worth the visit. And the train ride from Bordeaux.
