2020 – STAGE 1 / 6 OCTOBER : SAINT-EMILION – MONESTIER

5th Rally Entre 2 Mers: Stage 1 / Saint-Emilion – Monestier


Starting from Saint-Emilion, a historic village listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is under the clearings that the route winds through the vineyards, each more famous than the next, occupying the valleys with the limestone peaks of this region of the libournais impregnated with classified grands crus.

The winding road, offering a number of changes of direction, gradually left the vines to reach Dordogne and Charente and more wooded areas. The route, almost untouched by traffic, took us to the Haute Saintonge Circuit, designed by Jean-Pierre Beltoise and now managed by his son Julien. The participants then had plenty of time to express themselves fully at the wheel, in complete safety, on this hilly and engaged route during driving sessions planned for all. The rain came on a few times to make the regularity test more complex to do before the scheduled lunch not far from the paddocks.

The afternoon consisted of a descent to the south and the Château des Vigiers, where everyone stayed overnight, without forgetting the traditional coffee break, a mid-afternoon ritual, where a special test of regularity on the road, of a few kilometers was organized before the arrival in the middle of the afternoon and a deserved rest with a panoramic view of the golf course surrounding the estate.

We then give you an appointment for the summary of the first stage where we will appreciate the forces present ready to do battle to win the final trophy.
