You buy 'it' from here http://www.france-passion.co.uk/index.htm You receive a map, guide book, list of reccomended restaraunts, members card and window sticker, our's cost £22.50, you pay this one-off fee and can chose to stay overnight or merely visit any of the 1900-odd sites right across France free of charge. The proprietor will (sometimes
) take you on a tour of their establishment, letting you sample their wares with a no pressure to buy approach .... if you're like us you will probably want to buy something anyway 
This was our first stop at a cider farm near Montargis an hour south of Paris.
the other 'pitches' at Montargis .. some farms and places have toilets, others don't.
Then we moved on to Domaine Villargeau a vineyard
A friend who came a calling ...
Then to Boudes, south of Clermont Ferrand. This was a vineyard in the mountains behind St. Tropez, looks beautiful ... almost like savannah ... but was full of mosquitos and snakes
Finally we stayed on a lovely vineyard near Vallon Pont d'Arc in the Ardeche ...
Another visitor ...
2 of the 5 places we stayed never came to see us, the others were friendly, some spoke English, others French. The goods for sale were always superb quality, the surroundings were great and the cost unbeatable bearing in mind the free accomodation. Prices were about 6 Euro for a really nice wine ... not the cheeky 1 Euro stuff from Champion or Leclerc
Any questions please feel free to ask.
