Upstairs, a second bedroom can be used as a child’s room, guest room, or home office, depending on your needs.

Narbonne is surrounded by legendary and picturesque villages and towns that dot the Canal du Midi, such as the world famous walled city of Carcassonne plus the spectacular Cathar castles of Quéibus and Montségur which recently starred in the Da Vinci Code. The town is also at the centre of the Languedoc Roussillon wine area. There are many great vineyards where you can do wine tastings eg. Ricardelle with its sea view vista, Hospitâlet on a hilltop surrounded by vineyards with a reconstructed medieval village, Negly and Chateau Rouquette. For art lovers you should head south to the modern art museum at Céret and see the many mountain and sea views painted by George Braque, Salvador Dali and Picasso among others. The wonderful seaside town of Collioure is famous as an art colony where artists live and sell their work. For markets Narbonne itself has plenty including Les Halles which is regularly voted best covered food market in France. Local cuisine to try are the lucque olives, tapanede made from black olives, fish dishes such as Bourride de Seiche, oysters, meat dishes with herbs like rosemary and thyme, cassoulet, goats cheese like Pélardon and Rocamadour. Along the canal outside Les Halles every weekend morning is a general market selling everything from haberdashery to toys, tools and antiques. Every Saturday morning there is an organic market in Place du Forum. Another great food and wine market can be found every Saturday at the seaside village of Gruissan. Here there is a lovely old village centre and a harbour filled with boats and great seafood restaurants. Further afield for real antique dealers is the town of Pezenas. Further north still is the Cevennes natural park where you’ll find Rocquefort and can taste the famous blue cheese matched with Muscat wine. The town of Albi with its stunning 13th century cathedral – the largest brick building in the world. The sandy beaches range from child friendly Narbonne Plage and Sète to the more picturesque La Franqui and Argèles.
