Left Rocamadour for St. Émilion today. Learned a little bit about the saint and the town today. Did a wine tour followed by a church tour. The church in St. Émilion was not built with blocks of stone but entirely carved out of the limestone rock in the early 12th century. Later a gigantic bell tower, 4500 tons was added between the 12th and 15th centuries.
