Reaching St Emilion is possible by bus or train from Libourne. I travelled by train to a station 2km south, downhill from the town. The road to the town was lined each side with huge vinyards. After passing through the Porte Bouqueyre it was easy to realise this was a special place. Besides all the caveaux for wine tasting there were several interesting buildings like the monolithic church, the Kings Tower and the Collegiate church.

I continued to the top end of the village where the buses stop. From here there were extensive views of the vinyards all around.
