Parcé Frères

The Parcé family is a big family with property extending between Banyuls and Maury, and with various members of the family attached to one or another of the various estates and activities.

Marc Parcé had been closely associated with La Rectorie in Banyuls but has left that to younger members while he has launched a small négoce business that specialises in wines from the Roussillon.
