Bordeaux is a walkable eighteenth-century city on the Garonne, and the vineyards start almost at its edge. Saint-Emilion, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has troglodyte churches and steep alleys above the vines, while Sauternes, Graves and Entre-Deux-Mers lie within an easy drive, as does the Gironde estuary with its stilt fishing huts. The Atlantic beaches and Biarritz are south along the coast.
