Tips from the Community
The TV series – available only in German – »Schätze der Welt – Erbe der Menschheit« documents in short episodes, each lasting a quarter of an hour, important places that have been honored as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. The accompanying text states: "Saint- Emilion is one of the most romantic wine towns in the world. The small town lies on a limestone plateau, framed by vineyards where the grapes for the famous 'grands crus' grow. With this important wine-growing region in southwestern France, UNESCO has also declared wine a World Heritage Site. Rightly so, because Saint- Emilion represents the perfection of wine."

The name of Saint-Christophe, to whom this church in the village, which also bears his name, is dedicated, translates as "Christ-bearer." According to the saint's legend, he was a giant man who carried people across a river. One day, a small child called to him, and he carried it on his shoulders to the other bank. Amazingly, the child became heavier and heavier, and he said he felt as if the weight of the entire world were resting on his shoulders. Then the child revealed himself to him as Jesus Christ, Savior and Redeemer of the world.
