The site of Saint Emilion is a veritable open-air museum, founded according to legend by a modest hermit... A city steeped in history, perched on a rocky promontory, Saint Emilion and its vineyards derive their originality from the limestone that provides exceptional soil for its vines.
The Balades à Roulettes® (BR®) are short, leisurely walks, with a pushchair or small bike, or adapted for people with reduced mobility (in a wheelchair), offered by the Fédération Française de Randonnée de la Gironde.
CAUTION: Here, the route is on small tarmac streets that are also accessible to local residents' motor vehicles. The route has significant inclines and gradients, making it inaccessible to people in handchairs.
The stages
From the PRM parking area, head towards Place Pierre Meyrat, passing in front of the collegiate church and the Maison du Vin, and head towards the Tourist Office on the left (PRM accessible). Walk across from the Tourist Office to Place du Clocher for a panoramic view of the village.
You can also walk along Rue des Clochers for around 100 metres and then turn around. Near the Tourist Office, there is a passageway accessible to all for visiting the magnificent cloister. When you come out, turn right, walk past the Tourist Office and go straight on to rue des écoles, then turn right to join rue des douves.
