Banyuls-sur-Mer

Banyuls-sur-Mer gives its name to the surrounding wine region and sits on a bay at the southern end of France's Mediterranean coast, making it the country's second most southerly seaside resort. The town groups its old quarter, port, and a mixed pebble-and-sand beach around the bay, with a jetty extending to a rocky islet where a war memorial by sculptor Aristide Maillol stands. Two Natura 2000 sites — the Albères massif and the Côte Vermeille — border the commune, alongside a national nature reserve at Cerbère-Banyuls.
