strolling in saint émilion

I just came back from 10 days in the tiny and lovely village of saint émilion (famous for its excellent wine). I was invited there to fill a sketchbook that will be published soon. I had the chance to be invited in some of the most prestigious “châteaux” as “cheval blanc” or “figeac” and visit some incredible monuments of the middle age. there was excavated in the XIIth century the biggest monolith church in europe.
I also met many interesting people, who explained the process of the production of this particular wine, and taste most of the typical dishes of the “sud-ouest”, and of course some wine 😉
so, after 10 days working all day long, I achieved more than 90 pages of sketches and… sleep for 2 days to rest.
I can’t show you more of it until it get published, but I will…
