Banyuls-sur-Mer (French: [baɲuls syʁ mɛʁ] ⓘ; Catalan: Banyuls de la Marenda [bəˈɲuls də lə məˈɾendə]) is a commune in the Pyrénées-Orientales department in southern France.

In 1074, the town started being called Bannils de Maritimo in order to distinguish it from Banyuls-dels-Aspres, which lies 20 km (12 mi) away.

[4] Banyuls-sur-Mer is twinned with Settle, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom and also with the town of Kralupy nad Vltavou in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.

Depending on the needs of the time, salt, tobacco, silver, sugar, rice, textiles, and leather were smuggled through this city, almost always with impunity.

Under the Collioure appellation, the town is also a centre of quality dry reds, rosés and whites, with a number of producers of naturally sweet wines.
