On Thursday we and our friends Monique and Philippe went for a day trip to St-Emillion we walked around and through the very old town. This town is well known for its very high quality grapes used in the production of wine.
We had lunch, I had meat,frites(chips) and salad, after lunch we took a train ride that drove us around the town in particular the wine fields and the many large fine Chateau's (large French house) they were spectacular our train trip was wonderful.
After our train trip we walked a short distance to a big medieval tower called the "Tour de Roy" we payed to enter and climb to the very top, it was scare'y and the stairs where like fairy tale stairs very small, dark and winding.
At the top we could see the entire village and the surrounding fields of grapes it was a long way to the bottom and the fence at the top was only to my waist!
We took some photo's and then climbed back down to the entrance, I was glad to be back at the bottom again.
Before we left the town we stopped at a little shop that sold macaroons, they had many flavours and all looked yummy, our friends bought some for us to eat latter, my brother and I also got to have an ice cream each they were passionfruit flavoured and tasted yummy.
We walked back to our car and drove home through the little streets of St-Emillion it was a good day.
