Thinking of taking a vacation to the South of France (ugh, don’t you just love how that sounds)? Well, then be sure to stop by the charming town of Banyuls sur Mer, a beautiful city in the canton of La Côte Vermeille and in the arrondissement of Céret. A trip to Banyuls Sur Mer should include a visit to one of the many sprawling vineyards, lounging in the sun at the beach, or perusing the art at a museum (as the city is home to the sculptor, Aristide Maillol). So, make sure you book one of these great Airbnb vacation rentals so you can properly experience this vibrant city Banyuls Sur Mer, France.
