Banyuls-sur-Mer, Mediterranean coastal commune in Pyrénées-Orientales, France

The town extends between mountains and sea, containing a harbor with fishing boats and pleasure crafts along the Mediterranean coastline.

The settlement, first documented in 981 as Balneum, served as a refuge for Spanish Republican escapees during the Civil War in the 20th century.

The Musée Maillol, situated at the sculptor's former farm, exhibits numerous works and contains the burial site of artist Aristide Maillol.

The Marine Nature Reserve of Cerbère-Banyuls spans 650 hectares and features an underwater educational trail for snorkeling and diving activities.

The local vineyards cover 6000 kilometers of terraced landscapes, producing the distinct Banyuls red dessert wine through traditional methods.
