Your private chauffeur in Banyuls-sur-Mer
The last coastal town before Spain, about 40 minutes from Perpignan, Banyuls-sur-Mer is known for its Banyuls AOC natural sweet wine and its marine reserve, one of the first in France. We take you there at a fixed price, without you having to worry about the winding road of the Vermilion Coast.
To the cellars and wine estates
The terraced vineyards of Banyuls, which plunge literally into the sea, produce the famous Banyuls AOC natural sweet wine. For a cellar visit with tasting, travelling with a chauffeur spares you the dilemma of the drive back after a tasting.
The marine reserve and diving
Banyuls is home to one of the oldest marine nature reserves in France, popular with divers and snorkellers for the richness of its underwater life. A direct transfer to the diving centre saves you dealing with parking and equipment as you come out of the water.
A road best enjoyed from the back seat
The road between Perpignan and Banyuls, via Collioure and Port-Vendres, follows the Vermilion Coast and its views over the Mediterranean — a winding road that many visitors prefer to experience as passengers rather than at the wheel.
The Arago Laboratory, an institute of world renown
Founded in 1882, the Banyuls-sur-Mer Oceanological Observatory — better known by its historic name, the Arago Laboratory — is a leading marine research institute attached to Sorbonne University and the CNRS. Its public aquarium, open since 1884, is one of the oldest still operating in the Mediterranean, and it was here that the very first underwater photographs in the world were taken. A scientific curiosity to discover alongside a stay in Banyuls.
