St. Emilion

The very strange collegium church (main religious sites are

catacombs, which we skipped)

Its cloisters; note limestone columns

wearing away...

Interior of the church...three domes, then

ribbed vaulting (fashions change), few

windows, a good bit of original 12th

century painting

Some of the painting...in the second medallion from the left,

the devil is whispering sweet-nothings into someone's ear

Some "abstract" painting over where some of

the plaster has chipped away

Part of the city wall

View from near the clock tower

Wine shop where I bought a grand cru; owner plied me with

several tastings...

Macaroons were invented here by the Sisters, so we sampled

them (the macaroons), as well as some other local pastries,
from this shop

But, mostly, St. Emilion, an old and beautiful town, is about

very fine old wine
