This was surprisingly interesting. Lots of unique learnings of the area and time period. I did the tour in french and my french gf could translate what I didn't understand. Go at noon for the English tour. Book it at the visitors centre. We just showed up and could book for later the same day so quite easy.

One of my absolute favourite villages to visit & the church is just beautiful. Not my first time here, & it certainly won't be my last.

Informative guiding tour. The underground church can only be accessed with a reservation. The meeting point was in front of a wooden gate in case you wondered. You can either book online or visit the tourist center for booking onsite. The student ticket was 9 euros and the adult price, if I remembered correctly, was 12€. The tour was led either in English or French. Remember to check the language availability because English one was not offered all the time. The tour was a bit shorter than 1 hour I supposed. It’s cool to see the painting 700 years ago. But the tomb of Saint Emilion was not here. Also, no picture is allowed.

Very cool experience, went down subterranean to a chapel and into the catacombs. The guide was enthusiastic and provided a colorful image of the 1200s. It was end of February and they do not do tours in English until spring, but I was able to follow the expressive guide just fine!

A fantastic tour of an amazing underground church. Run by the Tourist Information office it's really worth taking time away from the wine to go on. You can take the tour in French or English at certain times of the year but ours was in French. It gives you a detailed history of St Emilion whilst walking through the cave, catacombs and finally the monolithic church. Very impressive and very unexpected. The guide kept the tour interesting and was very engaging. For all the family. A bit different.
