Visiting Saint Emilion
Otherwise
An extraordinary story
Discover the extraordinary history of Saint-Émilion, a village steeped in mystery and miracles.
Immerse yourself in the remains of a Gallo-Roman villa, bearing witness to its age. But it was in the 8th century that it all really began. Follow in the footsteps of a monk from Vannes, who settled in a sacred cave, the Ermitage de Saint-Émilion.
It was here that legend has it that he brought forth a miraculous spring. The same spring that continues to feed the Fontaine de la Place today. For 17 years, the monk Émilion evangelised the surrounding population and created a monastic site that took his name after his death. His miracles never ceased to inspire and gather numerous disciples, who proudly perpetuate the heritage of this unique monastic town.
