Favorite thing: I'm not sure what the name of these trees are but I found them to be quite interesting. I love trees and at any chance will try to photograph them.
The trees looks like they belong in a haunted story book with its nobby trunks and stick like branches.
I've seen these particular trees in other areas of France as well as Germany.

Favorite thing: In my travels around these small towns I've noticed that many have these wonderful illustrated maps of the main attractions with some really good information of loactions, etc. It's a great way of just familiarize yourself before heading out to explore, even if you have a portable map.

Favorite thing: During our visit we really wanted to do some wine tasting. We came across this particular Vintor and were surprised to know that although reservations were required, he would do a short demonstration for us.
Interesting to see the passion that wine evokes in the gentlemen explaining the wine varies, the region, and everything about this particular Wine Cellar.

Favorite thing: The vines planted inthe city of the limestone plateau reach the town wall. This little estate is 7 hectares. When you enter the building, the vast room is being restored. However, old vintages up to 1958, are aged in a remarkable underground cellar carved out of the limestone rock.

Favorite thing: The picture shows the gate of this town. The stone hold the towns secret and express centuries of history through architectural splendour.
Fondest memory: Emilian was great and much praised because of his legacy, he is a Breton Monk who left his family and native region to take what is called Holy Orders. Originally the victim of great injustice, he always reacted by being extreamly kind.
Emilion died on January 6th 767.

Favorite thing: Located directly on top of the monolitic church, the bell tower was built between the twelft and the fifteen centuries. It towers 133meters over the Place du Marché which makes it the second highest in the department of Gironde after Saint - Michel in Bordeaux.
