Narbonne
Narbonne, Occitanie, France
Sunlit and easygoing, Narbonne sits between the Mediterranean and the vineyards of La Clape. Once Rome’s first colony in Gaul, it blends Roman remains, a soaring Gothic cathedral, handsome boulevards, and the Canal de la Robine. Add in the lively Les Halles market, nearby salt lagoons and beaches at Gruissan, and you have a compact base for history, food, and sea air.
