サン＝マルタン＝ド＝グルソンのおすすめライド

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.

Built in the 14th century, it was remodeled and rebuilt many times after the devastating fire of 1885. Today, you can visit this magnificent pleasure castle, typical of the Belle Époque. The guided tour of the Tower is an invitation to follow in the footsteps of the famous philosopher, through a comprehensive evocation of his life, his era, his work, and his thoughts.

Romanesque church - being restored - can be visited every day

Beautiful 12th century church on the side of the road.

Tucked away in a back yard, on the hill beyond, you can see the remains of the Chateau de Gurson.

Nice view from the slightly elevated Villefranche-de-Lonchat to the plain in front of it.

It is worth making a short stop and enjoying the enchanting landscape in front of St. Emilion with its many grapevines.

As the turning point of a tour beautiful. You can swim and visit Gurson Castle (on private property). Quite full on the weekend.
