About this Item

Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

About this title

Synopsis

Saint-Emilion is not just world-famous for its wines; it is also a town steeped in history. In fact, its old buildings have won it inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage list and you can find out all about its heritage in this book. It will take you through its narrow streets, past the historic monuments dotted across the town and into the underground world beneath it, including the largest monolithic church in Europe. This is more than a guide; it is an initiation, taking you deep into some of the mysteries that make Saint-Emilion a place full of riddles and enigmas. Just what was the King's Tower or the amazing Cardinal Palace built astride the town walls? Who built the monolithic church? What does the dragon on a low relief in the church represent? What is the "Jurade"? The book will also lead you into the vineyards to discover the most famous of Saint-Emilion's wines. With a brief history of the town and vineyards illustrated by numerous photographs, several of them panoramic views, this will be your guide during your visit and a souvenir of your trip to the town.
