The pollarded trees and vines shade the sunny entrance to this Mediterranean style house near Cassis. This is a charming village scene in a picturesque town.

Domaine Saint-Louis Cassis

The sign says Domaine Saint-Louis Cassis, Degustation - Vente -- meaning Tasting and Sales.  Unfortunately I did not stop to taste the wine.  Cassis is an incredibly beautiful place in Provence at the beginning of the French Riviera by the sea.  The geographic feature are sharp cliffs near the sea, and calanques,

A calanque is a steep walled inlet or cove, somewhat like a fjord only on a smaller scale.  Many boats take tourists to see the calanques, which are incredibly scenic.

On the sign, under the word Cassis, you have Appellation Contrôlée Cassis which means that the wine from Cassis is from an official area. And in the script there is a name: Laurent Jacque.
