Saint-Émilion River Cruises
Laced with steep cobblestone streets and blessed with stunning views of surrounding vineyards, Saint-Émilion rests on the rolling hills of the Gironde department. Its vineyards, originally planted by Romans in the 2nd century, rank among the world’s finest and were even praised by the Latin poet Ausonius. For its remarkable blend of medieval ruins and Romanesque churches in a medieval atmosphere, the entire town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its narrow lanes are a pleasure to explore, and its cafés invite long lingering sips of the delicious wines that are produced here.
