The TV series – available only in German – »Schätze der Welt – Erbe der Menschheit« documents in short episodes, each lasting a quarter of an hour, important places that have been honored as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. The accompanying text states: "Saint- Emilion is one of the most romantic wine towns in the world. The small town lies on a limestone plateau, framed by vineyards where the grapes for the famous 'grands crus' grow. With this important wine-growing region in southwestern France, UNESCO has also declared wine a World Heritage Site. Rightly so, because Saint- Emilion represents the perfection of wine."

Built by John Lackland, Duke of Normandy (1199-1204), Duke of Aquitaine (1199-1216) and King of England from 1199 to 1216, the castle was built on a rock occupied since antiquity. Witness to the Hundred Years' War, the castle of Rauzan was taken twice by the French, including by Bertrand Du Guesclin in 1377. Classified as a historic monument in 1862, it was only revived in people's minds from the 1970s onwards when the municipality of Rauzan, owner since 1900, and some enthusiasts of medieval architecture undertook clearing and restoration work.

"The historic center of Bordeaux, with its so-called Port of the Moon (Port de la Lune), as the city is poetically named after the crescent-shaped bend in the Garonne River, has been declared a cultural monument. Since the 16th century, the city's bourgeoisie has stood for self-confidence, a desire for freedom, pride, and independence. This bourgeoisie, thanks to its far-reaching trade connections and the natural harbor on the banks of the Garonne, used its location to cultivate economic ties with England, Portugal, North Africa, and South America for centuries. The city's architecture reflects this self-confidence, success, and historical continuity. No other city in Central Europe boasts such a homogeneous architectural style as Bordeaux," reads the website accompanying the short (15-minute) German-language film from the series "Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity." ``` It is available in the ARD media library at the following link: =>> https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/bordeaux-historisches-zentrum-von-bordeaux-frankreich-folge-362/3sat/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82ODQ1NDk2

Sauveterre-de-Guyenne is a bastide. A bastide is a type of French medieval town, founded in the 13th and 14th centuries, primarily in southwestern France. A bastide is characterized by a rectangular street pattern that divides the town into eight blocks around a central market square. The Treaty of Paris (1229) prohibited the building of walls around new towns. Many bastides were provided with some form of fortification, such as gates, after their founding to provide some protection during turbulent times. Most bastides had only local significance and did not develop into large towns. As a result, many bastides, such as that of Sauveterre-de-Guyenne, have been preserved in their original state.
