6Saint-Émilion, France

Located in the heart of the Bordeaux wine region, Saint-Émilion is a picturesque medieval town that is as famous for its wine as for its history.

The town’s narrow cobbled streets wind through ancient buildings, while underground, a vast network of cellars and quarries tell the story of the region’s wine-making tradition. The Monolithic Church of Saint-Émilion, carved into the limestone cliffs, is one of the town’s architectural highlights. Saint-Émilion and its vineyards were added to the UNESCO list in 1999, recognizing both its cultural and agricultural significance.
