17. St-Emilion Part I

In mid-September this small medieval town celebrates its nuit du patrimoine, its heritage night. The members of its winemaking guild, the Jurade, parade in scarlet robes to the monolithic church to induct new members into their order. Jurade officials climb the steps of the Romanesque tower, a trumpeter in tow, and proclaim the date when harvesting may commence. At night, while visitors file out of overflowing restaurants, the sky explodes with fireworks. St-Emilion is en fĂȘte, and few towns in France do it better.
