Grand Site Occitanie Narbonne
Located in the heart of a regional natural park, Narbonne also has other classified natural sites, such as the Clape massif and the Sainte-Marie de Fontfroide abbey, as well as the Bages-Sigean pond.
The town is surrounded by scrubland and vineyards, so it specializes in the trade of Aude and Languedoc wines. Close to the coast, there’s a five kilometers beach of fine sand called Narbonne-Plage.
Roman capital and powerful medieval city, Narbonne boasts a two thousand year old heritage!
Founded by the Romans in -118, it was their second oldest colony in Gaul (after Aix-en-Provence, -122) and its urban center bears traces of many centuries of history. Its historic center is flanked by a multitude of bell towers, towers and ramparts bearing witness to its remarkable religious past. The monumental ensemble is unique: the Gilles Aycelin keep, the Saint-Martial tower, the Palace-Museum of the Archbishops, the Gothic cathedral and its cloister adjoin ancient remains such as the Horreum.
We invite you to visit the "Narbo Via" museum, it brings together three places, three temporalities, three stories: the museum, the underground galleries of the Horreum and the museum-archaeological site of Amphoralis.
