The Château de Cancerilles (N 43° 16.42', E 5° 55.43') is located in the Var, roughly 10 miles north of Toulon as the crow flies.  It is where our favorite rosé wine is made, and since our supply was dwindling alarmingly, we decided to take a drive and restock. When we got there, we were greeted by these two not so fearsome (but rather loud) “watchdogs”. We originally found this place because our favorite restaurant recommended one of their wines, and we liked it so much that we decided to purchase some of our own. Today, we had left our checkbook at home, and the machine that validates credit cards was out of order. As a result, we drove off with a trunkful of wine without paying. “Just send me a check,” the owner said. How very civilized!
