Exploring Narbonne: History, Culture, and Must-See Hotspots
Manage episode 436438663 series 3556026
Narbonne might not be the first city that comes to mind when you think of southern France, but it’s one of the oldest settlements in the region and is packed with fascinating history. If you're into Roman ruins, stunning Gothic architecture, and lively markets, Narbonne is a must for your travel list.
Walking through its streets feels like peeling back layers of time. The city is a mix of ancient and medieval wonders, from the ancient Via Domitia, once a major Roman road, to the towering Narbonne Cathedral that dates back to the 13th century.
However, its role as a key Roman port truly put Narbonne on the map. It’s an unforgettable destination where history, culture, and modern life come together in the heart of the Languedoc region.
