Date and time of visit: May 10, 2013, around 7:00 p.m. (overnight)

The Saint-Emilion region, located in the suburbs of Bordeaux, is famous for its wine brands. And a World Heritage Site. It is a regional tourist attraction in the southwest Aquitaine.

I accidentally missed it when I went to Bordeaux in 2011, so I thought I must visit and stay there next time.

訪問した5月10日は朝から午後までずっと天気がよかったのですが、次第に下り坂となり、この日3つ目のフランスの最も美しい村「Tournemire(トゥルヌミール)」からは雨となってしまいました。

From Tournemire, it took about 3 hours to get to Saint-Emilion where we stayed, mainly by highway.

And we arrived at our destination after 7pm.

It was raining in Saint-Emilion, so we had a dinner at a restaurant near the hotel and finished the day. So we had a dinner at a restaurant near the hotel.

The meal was very good.
