Saint Emilion

St Emilion was a monk here in this 12th century village with an under ground church dug from the earth. The small vineyards here still produce unique boutique wines every year. The monk healed folks, he baptized them in the stream that ran under his self imposed cell and he produced an abundance of bread for hungry people ( by hiding the loaves under his garments!)
