Bordeaux grand cru

I have just finished a plate of coquille saint Jacques in honor of the Camino.

I started a busy day of sightseeing in the laundromat catching up on my washing.

This afternoon I went on an organised tour of two vineyards and a visit to the village of St Emilion:

The village was much better than Roc-Amadour. There were tourists but also a varied history that survives them.

It turns out that Mr Emilion was on a pilgrimage to Santiago around 800 when he stopped here, lived in a cave, started a monastery and a wine industry. According to the guide, he never did make it to Santiago.
