Day 15 St. Émilion

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.
