NARBONNE The wonderful Mediterranean city of Narbonne is situated on the banks of The Canal Robine.

Narbonne was established in Gaul in 118 BC, as Colonia Narbo Martius. It was located on the ancient Roman Road (“Via Domitia”) in Gaul, built at the time of the foundation of the colony, and connecting Italy to Spain.

The town features some of the most interesting buildings from military to religious with fantastic tree lined boulevards. Lots of lively side street bars and restaurants. Plenty of markets to suite all tastes, make this a great place to see.

Place Bisten, 1st century temple remenants, Pont des Merchands, pedestrianised bridge with shops overlooking the canal.

 

Nearby Roman Attraction : Visit The Roman Bridge in St Thibery, crossing the River Herault. It is the longest bridge of the old Roman Road (“Via Domitia”) linking Rome to Spain.
