Next time that your near Apt, see if you can find Eydins. It’s a small vin yard not far from Pont Julian. We found it as a recommendation from our land lord whilst staying in St Saturnin le Apt. We haven’t managed find it anywhere else. As we are staying in Cassis early September we will take a day trip to purchase a couple of cases.
