St Emilion, a bucket list wish.

Friday 15th December 2023

Ever since I first visitedSt Emilion over 30 years ago I promised myself that one day I would spend the night here so I could walk round and enjoy the evening ambience.

The most luxurious and central hotel is the Hotel de Pavie and is the first choice for those who can.

Prices range from 495 to 890 euros per night, breakfast not included.
The set evening menu 225 euros per head wine not included.

It’s even more astonishing that the nearest parking is 200m away, but I do believe someone will park your car for you.😊

It looks more glamorous from the other side.

Well I am achieving my bucket list wish and staying about 800m from that hotel in Homer, free for the night😂😂😂😂

This morning we visited an old friend Dominique near Libourne and then drove to St Emelion where we met up,with Alison and Peter with whom we are spending the next few weeks. We went for an afternoon stroll around the town, very little commerce is open, most shops are shut until March, I did however find a pharmacy to stock up again on cold medication😊

It is of course traditional to pause for refreshments in the square.

After a short break and a quick meal in Homer we set off again to walk round town in the dark and enjoy some of the Christmas illuminations.
