Corkscrew Museum is unique.

7. DOMAINE DE BEAURENARD
The Coulon family have been in Provence's most famous wine village since 1695 -

In a superb location, set back from the sea and next to a bird sanctuary, Alain Com-
bard and his family make wines of great finesse. The visitors' entrance to the cellar
is, oddly, round the back of a steel tank.
