Thanks to a joint action of the Port, the Municipality and the Tourist Office, united in a perspective of sustainable and harmonious territorial development, the port of Banyuls is also turned towards the riches of the hinterland, notably through the project “Port des Terroirs, Comptoir Culturel”, launched since 2006 with the Union of Port Cities of Languedoc-Roussillon.
This project aims to develop, with other Mediterranean port cities, an itinerary of cultural counters as invitations to discover the history of the maritime routes.
Moreover, since June 23, 2008, Banyuls can be proud of being the first Odyssey City. This European program completes the Port des Terroirs by relying on the historical and cultural role of the port to link the sea, the city and the hinterland.
In concrete terms, itineraries linking the port and the hinterland have been set up, and punctuated with interactive terminals that give you, thanks to multimedia content, the keys to a better understanding of the richness of the thousand-year-old terroir.
Our technical team and the staff of the Harbour Master’s Office will welcome you and remain at your service throughout your stay.
