Cordeliers Cloister, Medieval cloister in Saint-Émilion, France
The Cordeliers Cloister features Romanesque architecture with monolithic columns and rounded arches, surrounded by limestone walls and a garden in the center.
Following a monastery pillage in 1337, Franciscan monks received permission to establish their new monastery within Saint-Émilion walls and began construction in 1338.
The name Cordeliers derives from the Franciscan friars who wore brown robes secured with cord ropes while following Saint Francis of Assisi's teachings.
The underground network extends three kilometers beneath Saint-Émilion, maintaining a constant temperature of 12 degrees Celsius for wine fermentation.
Since 1892, the underground limestone caves at a depth of 20 meters serve as cellars for the maturation of sparkling wines.
