2. 2

   Saint-Emilion

   1.5 hours

   Located 40 minutes from Bordeaux and easily accessible, Saint-Émilion is an extraordinary medieval town that welcomes adventurers, wine lovers, and the simply curious year-round. A town steeped in history, perched on a rocky promontory, Saint-Émilion and its vineyards owe their unique character to the limestone that has shaped their identity. This is evidenced by the presence of 200 km of underground galleries that provided the limestone necessary for the construction of numerous buildings in the region, particularly in Bordeaux. Let's have your lunch to the restaurant Chai Pascal located in the heart of the village of Saint-Émilion. They offer homemade dishes crafted by the chef Mickaël, along with a fine selection of wines from here and beyond.

3. 3

   Chateau Ausone

   1.5 hours

   The Ausone estate is anchored to the side of the hill in a place called Roc Blancan, literally “white rock”. It is a mineral stage, slowly hewn by Man, where, for the last two thousand years, life has chosen to establish itself in stone, as have the vines.
