6 days in Saint-Emilion Itinerary

Standing magnificently on top of a hill overlooking the Dordogne Valley filled with lush vineyards, Saint-Émilion fuses history and modern culture with medieval ambience--even in its wine bars, museums, markets, art galleries, cafes, and shops.

You've now added Chateau Angelus to your itinerary. Get out of town with these interesting Saint-Emilion side-trips: Chateau de Bridoire (in Ribagnac), Perigueux (Cathedrale St-Front & Vesunna) and Chateau de Monbazillac (in Monbazillac). There's still lots to do: don't miss a visit to Monolithic Church of Saint-Emilion, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Eglise Collegiale de Saint-Emilion, explore the historical opulence of Chateau de Hautefort, and get in on the family fun at Le Chateau des Enigmes de Pons.
