A morning café au lait and perhaps a gourmandise or two at the Bar de la Poste is a daily ritual for many inhabitants of St Emilion. Some will lazily glance over the pages of Le Monde, while others share village gossip, reciprocated with a knowing nod of the head. Guests at Villa Saint Emilion may decide to make the Bar de la Poste part of their own daily ritual, afterwards exploring the honey-stone cobbled streets of St Emilion, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, before ambling back home with a baguette and a selection of local delicacies for lunch.
