Narbonne has a very rich cultural and archaeological heritage thanks to the diversity of influences from which it has benefited. There are still medieval masterpieces such as the Archbishops' Palace (construction began in the 12th century), Fontfroide Abbey (a Cistercian masterpiece more than 1000 years old!) and a good number of jewels such as the Baltard style covered market, the Robine canal and its locks, the Merchants' Bridge, which has the particularity of being one of the few bridges built and still inhabited in France... Since its foundation in 118 B.C., it has been a crossroads and a strategic meeting point between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, the Massif Central and the Pyrenees. Narbo Martius was the first colony outside Italy to play an important role for centuries. It was located on the via Domitia, the first Roman road in Gaul, which connected Italy and Spain. Narbonne, a place of exchange and trade, saw the arrival on its quays of Betic oil, ceramics from Italy, oil lamps, bronze, building materials, and exported the products of its region, including wine, olive oil, rosemary honey sold in Carthage for its weight in gold, as well as salt, one of the raw materials of antiquity. The cradle of romance between the sea and the garrigue, with its vineyards as far as the eye can see, it is today a city of a thousand facets. With more than 300 days of sunshine a year, Narbonne is a destination where the gentle way of life reigns. To discover or rediscover, with family or friends all year round!
