This year, the magnificent town of Saint-Émilion, perched in the heart of the Bordeaux vineyards, celebrates the 20th anniversary of its UNESCO World Heritage listing. It is the perfect opportunity for motorhome travelers to rediscover this iconic destination in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, blending culture, history, and wine tasting.
Listed as a "cultural landscape" since 1999 (celebrations postponed to 2025), Saint-Émilion is an architectural gem where cobbled streets, blonde stone houses, and medieval monuments tell a thousand-year-old story. Around the town, vineyards stretch their rows of vines across gentle hills, creating a harmonious and preserved landscape.
To mark this anniversary, numerous events will take place throughout 2025: exhibitions, shows, guided tours, tastings, and wine tourism excursions.
