Location
The name 'Sainte-Émilion' is a byword in the field of wine production. It is situated in SW France, a medieval town, and designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. The quality of its wines is due to a combination of the geology and micro-climate. Market day is on a Wednesday throughout the year and in July/August also on a Sunday. It takes up the entire central square.
French transport systems are excellent. The TGV from Paris to Libourne takes just 3 hours and costs between £70-130. Driving from Paris will take about double that time. In addition there are plenty of international flights from the UK to Bordeaux.
