and that would extend to anything in public view, including a well-known winery. Apparently there is such an expectation in France, and it extends beyond persons to properties.

Whatever was the legal argument used to remove your photo, it's petty and cynical.

I recently attended an outdoor art festival. While any painting displayed there was public, I asked the artists for their permission to take photos. Most were happy for my interest, but there were a few who objected. Their concern was that I would steal their art by taking a high-resolution photo and selling a print. That's what I get for using a fairly decent camera. When the new phones with onboard AI are commonplace, all of their users will be potential thieves.
