En quelques mots
Le village de Gemeaux abrite de nombreuses ruelles qui donnent au village une allure de labyrinthe. Ces ruelles aussi connu sous le nom de trèjes, sont des passages étroits qui partent des rues principales pour mener à la partie supérieure du village. Celles-ci permettaient aux habitants de fuir en cas d'invasion. Ces ruelles permettaient aussi d'accéder aux vignes, car Gemeaux était aussi très réputé jusqu'au début du XXème siècle pour ses Côtes des Violettes. On raconte même que ce vin était servi à la table du Tsar de Russie.
