Narbonne, the eldest daughter of Rome outside Italy

Narbonne, located in the Occitan region, is the largest and most populated commune in the Aude department. It is a very friendly town in the south of France with a strong history since it was the oldest Roman colony in Gaul. It was after this that the city was nicknamed “eldest daughter of Rome outside Italy”.

Close to the Etang de l'Ayrolle, the Massif de la Clape as well as the Massif de Fontfroide, there are many extraordinary viewpoints throughout the Gulf of Lion. You can therefore combine hiking and navigation during your vacation. Narbonne is also crossed by the famous Canal du Midi, a UNESCO heritage site. Opting for a boat to rent on the Canal du Midi allows you to visit Narbonne but also all the towns along it, from Toulouse to Sète. 

Narbonne also has a port which is located at Narbonne-Plage, about fifteen kilometers from the center of the city. The port has a capacity of 600 rings. It also obtained the “Clean Ports” label in 2001.

What to visit in Narbonne?

The urban center of Narbonne is filled with exceptional buildings and monuments dating, for the oldest, from the time of the founding of the city in -118. All it takes is a stroll through the city to immerse yourself in its history. To understand the city, there is nothing like getting lost in the alleys. Alternate between the historic center and the Cité district, which are both separated by the Robine Canal.

Are you visiting Narbonne and you don't know what to do? Here are some little ideas! Most of the buildings dating from Roman times have been destroyed, however, there are still ruins of horrea which date from the 1st century BCE. In the center of the Town Hall Square, you will see a portion of the ancient Via Domitia which linked Romanized Spain to Italy.

More recent, but just as majestic, consider visiting the Saint-Just-et-Saint-Pasteur Cathedral of Narbonne as well as the Palace of the Archbishops of Narbonne which was the second archiepiscopal complex after the famous Palais des Papes in Avignon. Finally, in Baltard style, visit the city's Halles. Inaugurated at the very beginning of the 20th century, the project to house a theater there will never come to fruition.

After visiting the city and before going on your boat, you can enjoy Narbonne-Plage and its 5 kilometers of fine sand.
