A fascinating church in Narbonne with long history as noted here by other posters. We went specifically to see the crypt, which has dug into the adjoining burial ground to expose centuries of sarcophagi and layers of bone in the dirt. A real descent into the underworld accessed through this church, which has evidence of destruction from the French Revolution as well as the famous frog in the holy water basin.

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.

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.
4. Collegiale Saint-Sebastien

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. Parc du Chateau de Montplaisir

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 !

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.
8. Via Domitia of Narbonne
Overall Ratings

A couple of decades ago digging downtown they found intact a section of the Via Domitia. The first Roman road in Gallia that linked Hispania with Italy. Below the surface with a well designed exposure one can visit this small section of well laid out stones through which for many centuries, starting over 2 millennia ago people, cattle and commerce flowed. During most of day, in such central location children go and jump stones unaware of its history, just having fun away from the flat and well groomed town square at the core of the city. Although there are many large sections of exposed Roman Road throughout the Mediterranean and nearby lands, few are in such an urban setting where the historical contrast with modern civilization shows. Arrive after 7 pm, with the kids and crowd gone you can also step where millions traveled and helped spread commerce and civilization. If a buff of western civilization history for a few moments you can be transported to our "modern" beginnings and within less than a minute away sit to sip a beer or coffee relatively free of modern road traffic.
