Itinerary
Created in the 90s, this small garden was once the site of the Capuchin convent, between the 16th and 18th centuries, then the Court of First Instance until the Second World War.
The beautiful facade that adorns the street on your left belongs to Saint-Sébastien Church, a church originally built in the 15th century as a chapel that was remodelled and expanded during the 18th century to become this flamboyant Gothic building.
This small square, located on Place Thérèse Léon Blum, is a tribute to this statesman who was strongly committed to the implementation of the socialist reforms that appeared in the 1930s.
On this street, there are several private mansions, including the Hotel de la Brigade at number 12 and the Hotel Benavent at number 7.
On the street on your left, Rue Rouget de l'Isle, is the entrance to the Horreum, a monument that dates from the 1st century BC. A Horreum, in Roman times, was a warehouse where all sorts of goods were stored, from grain to wine to clothing.
Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Canal de la Robine offers beautiful walks or bike rides, especially in downtown Narbonne where it allows you to escape from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis.
Here, from the Passerelle des Barques, the famous Merchants Bridge is revealed in front of you!
Let's go for a small overview of Narbonne specialties!
Impossible not to enjoy strolling on the Cours Mirabeau, which runs along the Canal de la Robine on its right bank.
Here you are in front of a very beautiful example of Languedoc Gothic architecture.
In the heart of the homes in the Bourg district, we see here the facade of the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce church.
Here you are in front of a very particular house, on your right.
Here is the Basilica of Saint-Paul, one of the oldest churches in the Midi, and the first Gothic church built in Narbonne.
We are here in the district of Bourg, located on the right bank of the Canal de la Robine which separates the city of Narbonne in two.
Difficult to realize it here, but you are currently in the heart of a bridge that crosses the Canal de la Robine!
Here, the Place de l'Hôtel de Ville has plenty to impress you. And the Palace of the Archbishops, which is in front of you, is not for nothing!
Here you are in front of a precious relic of the Gallo-Roman period. Opposite the Archbishops' Palace, in the heart of the Town Hall Square, is a piece of the Via Domitia, a Roman road built from 118 BC.
On your right, the Jardin de l'Archevêché offers an exceptional setting to take a break and relax in the heart of the city.
Although located in the south of France, this impressive cathedral has everything of a northern cathedral.
The building on your left is none other than the Palace of Sports, Arts and Work, and if I stop you here, it is because it is one of the rare testimonies in Languedoc-Roussillon of functionalist and rationalist architecture.
