Saint Emilion, a photo from Aquitaine, West

Photographer's Note

Saint Emilion is well known for the good Bordeaux red wine. I went to the place last year while i was spending two weeks holydays in the region. The place is a pretty small village that looks like old style french country side. Small streets and wine sellers every where. While visiting the place, we have seen a shop selling a Chateau Petrus 1946 red wine bottle for... 4500 euros. Definitely i got another one really cheaper, but really good also...

This region has to ve visited, it is really quite place with many small villages such as this one. Saint Emilion is a very touristic place, but all around villages are not so much and have treasures of architectures to be discovered as well.

Salut Stephane,
this is one very "postcard looking" picture, in the very best meaning of the word.
Excellent depth of field, very vibrant colors...and a very "I wish I was there" feeling.
Thanks for sharing
Vlad

Salut Stéphane,
Le point de vue est classique mais toujours apprécié en donnant une vue d'ensemble sur St Emilion ( en Aquitaine et pas en Poitou Charentes !) N'as tu pas saturé un peu les couleurs, la teintes des pierres apparaît un peu jaune sur ta photo ? enfin ce n'est qu'un petit détail, l'ensemble est réussi.
A sec ... A+
