We had a wonderful time in Banyuls-sur-mer, and we recommend this exchange to anyone who is interested in a calm, comfortable time in SW France. It is not in in the middle of a big city, so the best time here is spent in living with the calmer, day to day pace of the town. The house is completely livable and comfortable, and Delphine and Lionel gave us a perfect welcome and introduction to the house and town and region. Our highest recommendation. Everything a home exchange should be.

We had a lovely time in the house, which was well equipped and beautifully decorated. Banyuls-sur-Mer is very busy in August, so I think you best enjoy the town in other periods, but apart from that everything was great.

Delphine and her family were lovely home exchange guests, and their place in Banyuls is amazing! We had a fabulous stay there, kicked off by a beautiful lunch with them on the day we arrived. They really made us feel welcome and took the time to show us around their place. Banyuls-sur-Mer is a great town -- not too touristy, not too small. The Rouchy's home is very comfortable and is just 1-1/2 blocks from the beach! I would recommend this as an exchange spot for anyone who loves the sun and surf.
