1. Cathedrale St-Just
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,106 reviews
Reviewed By Hugo929 - Los Angeles, United States
This cathedral joins the one in Siena (Italy) as an example of grandiose but truncated plans. Begun in the 13th century in the prevailing gothic style it has impressive thick columns, beautiful gothic arches and colorful stained glass windows. Built on the site of previous churches, one can find remnants. In the 14th century funds run out, mostly because of a decline of business in Narbonne, so the nave is missing.
2. Palais des Archeveques

There is something about the cathedrales in France. The Cathedrale St Just in Narbonne is very impressive. You cannot help to feel humble and quiet if you wander through this magnificent building. It is right in the centre of Narbonne and it has a lovely garden.

Beautiful abbey just outside Narbonne (you need transport). In an excellent state of repair and an informative leaflet (although the downloadable PDF is better- available French, English, Spanish). The cloisters are interesting, as are the gardens, but the piece de resistance is the church with its incredible stained glass windows. We came back in the evening to watch the light show (10-midnight). We were concerned that we would just see everything again, but in the evening, but the show was completely different and an excellent evening experience. The beautifully done show in the tour d’honneur/ courtyard (french only) was the highlight, as was a nice light show in the Louis XIV courtyard. Not too expensive (unless you opt for their meal+show, which we didn’t).

The French do markets oh so well. Fish, meat and patisserie all excellent. Good places for lunch and being able to find obscure items for the kitchen cupboard.
5. Canal de la Robine

The canal strikes a lock in the centre of Narbonne and there is a bar above it. There is no better place in Narbonne to sit and relax and watch the water rushiing by. It is close by the Tourist Office.
6. Office de Tourisme de Narbonne

Situé sur un des axes principaux du cœur de ville, rue Jean Jaurès, dans le moulin « Entre-Deux-Villes » construit en 1503, l'Office de Tourisme est un outil au service des professionnels, des visiteurs et des narbonnais !
Reviewed By vaqueroviajero - Cortez, United States
The Narbonne tourist office is in a spacious building with lots of resources in several languages. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. About my only complaint is that they limit the internet to 1 hour a day.
7. Horreum romain
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 301 reviews
Reviewed By Archaeobuff - Sydney, Australia
This very well presented Roman warehouse that is now underground is well worth a visit provided you like dark tunnels. This was a lot more complicated than the Horreum at Aosta in Northern italy that was even larger but a lot less interesting. Its construction dates back to the 1st Century BC, and corresponds to a time when Narbonne was a significant Roman town, Narbo Martius. It served as a warehouse for grain, wine and oil, and also to stock weapon because of the military importance of the city at this time.
