    This beautifully decorated property is entirely elegant with first rate service. the ladies at the front desk Marie and Marion are just so welcoming and warm, they really helped to make us feel so welcome. The furnishings are carefully curated and the Vincent Shepherd chairs really give the place a relaxed resort feel. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a roomy patio. The Nuxe toiletries are first rate and add a touch of luxury. The restaurant with its excellent sommelier is first rate as well. highly recommended for those seeking a relaxed luxurious environment to spend some time at.

    Well laid out city, lots of shops and restaurants and a lovely central area which is pedestrianised, great to walk around both during the day and evening. Free local bus which tours the central area. Lots of historical sights to see. We also went on the galleon bateau which took about an hour and we went through 2 locks which was very interesting, this was after being refused one of the little electric self drive boats as we hadn't booked in advance. The little tourist train is a waste of money, so walk instead, everything is close by. Would thoroughly recommend the Cathedral, absolutely huge and for a vegan/veggie meal try Chez Marius. Staff there absolutely lovely but it gets busy so might be best to book. Avoid heading to the outskirts of the city as its not so nice, quite scruffy in places. For long term parking try Indigo just opposite Les Halles as other parking places had a 5 hour limit. The market at Les Halles is a must see, gorgeous food and great characters selling absolutely everything you could need and surprisingly not expensive. Thursday and Sunday there is also an outdoor market along the canal, huge and very popular!

    Very nice little town, the locals were friendly. It was not overrun with people, the beach being very broad and very well.maintained. we enjoyed that it was sandy and clean.

    Narbonne is a beautiful old town. The cathedral is amazing. Worth seeing all the buildings around the cathedral. Beautiful shops. Very enjoyable to walk around the old town. The tourist information office was very helpful. The Narbonne fresh produce market has an amazing selection of fruit, vegetable, meats, fish, cheeses and ready made food and pastries and bread etc. Unfortunately all the shops are closed Sunday and Mondays so it is very quiet then. Other days lots people and shops and cafes open. Centre of old town does not allow car access so you need to be dropped off and then walk short distance into the centre of old town and possibly to your accommodation.
