サン＝マルタン＝ド＝グルソン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ9

August 3, 2023 - passing showers. Very pretty little path that brings lots of surprises: vineyards, natural swimming pool, various springs, facade in Saint-Emilion stone (or Bordeaux stone), and varied landscapes.

11th-century church built on the site of a Roman building. Marble capitals from this ancient building were used under the apse portico. The capitals of the triumphal arch are decorated with biblical motifs. Two bas-reliefs depicting Adam and Eve and Saints Peter and Paul are carved into the side walls of the bell tower.

A graft (also known as graft or seedling) is a graft in viticulture; a scion is grafted (grafted) onto the rootstock by means of special cutting forms, thus creating an artificial connection of two wooden parts of different grape varieties (the rootstock and a European variety susceptible to phylloxera) for the purpose of grafting the grapevines (Wikipedia).

Château from the 16th century next to a church from the 12th century make it worthwhile to make a short stop before heading towards the D9 at a fast pace.

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