Monuments to visit Languedoc Roussillon

The fountain of the Three Graces is the emblem of the city. Located on the Place de la Comédie, it is a meeting place for many locals and tourists. A listed historical monument, the creation of the sculpture dates back to 1776 and is the work of Etienne Antoine. He represented characters from Greek mythology named: Aglaé, Euphrosine and Thalie. These "Charites" (Graces, in Roman) symbolize seduction, beauty, nature, human creativity and fertility.

It is a major book of the Canal du Midi, with eight basins and nine doors allowing to cross a height of 21,50 metres over a length of more than 300 metres. True water staircase, technical prowess for the time, locks are a permanent attraction, still active despite the construction of an innovative book, the water slope, next but often broken.

Wrongly nicknamed "Hôtel Philippe le Bel", this Gothic house has the characteristic layout of medieval residences. Its façade and decorative elements are representative of the civil architecture of the 13th and 14th centuries. The exterior of the house is dotted with ogival windows and the majority of them have carved decoration. These are difficult to interpret due to the complexity of medieval iconography. One of the elements present is a figurative figure holding two fleurs-de-lys, which would be a reference to the monarchy.

Built at the beginning of the 15th century, the first town hall was called the "Maison Commune". Remains its black basaltic stone crest of Agde, surrounded by a carved heart where the letters "C.C" are engraved (Corps Consulaire) and above, the date: 1587.

The Hotel de Ville is a spacific former house. The Municipality settled there in 1919. It is in 1980 that it takes its current aspect with the complete renovation of the entrance hall, transformed into a reception and exhibition room which now houses a collection of ancient remains, treasures collected in the Etang de Thau.

In the heart of the old medieval neighborhood, within walking distance from Basilique Saint-Paul-Serge, this private residence is one of the jewels of the district of Bourg. This is the only type of Renaissance architecture of the sixteenth century Narbonne still has. Maison des Trois Nourrices owes its name to the large breasts of the caryatids of its facade. These sculptures surround the bay with pier glass and adorn the southern frontage. In Narbonne, it is said that the house received Molière and that Cinq-Mars was arrested while he plotted against Richelieu. Since its restoration in 2007, it has been housing the Prenatal Service of the Hospital. This house can be visited within European Heritage Days.

From the start of your hike in the Sea of the Rocks, you will come to the feet of this castle whose origin is uncertain but which we like here to imagine that Most or other powerful families lived there long ago. We imagine being a good society, lynched with the influential lords of Salvage (th century) that gave prosperity to the city. The history of saving is marked by that of Protestantism, the wars of religion and the revolt of camisards. Part of the wildhammers revolted took the maquis in the Massif massif and used as a watchtower that castle, following the fire of the castle of Roquevaire. There is no doubt that this place was a privileged site for monitoring a very broad sector. On the plateau of the Coutach massif, surrounded by green oaks and lauriers sauces, see rocks as carved in limestone eroded by water.
