Today we depart Cahors and travel to the village of St Emillion, the last refuge of the Girondins and where Emilion (the 8th century monk) was to make his hermitage in one of the grottoes. This wine-producing region is nearly as famous as the "Medoc", but is not distinguished by the same classification ranges. After lunch we may get the opportunity to taste the wines of the Chateau Cheval Blanc, before continuing to the bustling seaport of Bordeaux. With its unique 18th Century character, our orientation visit to the city will show you the quays, the Cathedral, boulevards and pedestrian shopping streets. Tonight is at your leisure. (BB)
