Activity itinerary

La Via Domitia

20m
Admission ticket included

Travellers will embark on a private, half-day journey through Narbonne, once a Roman capital and now a vibrant southern French town filled with history and charm. They’ll walk across the Via Domitia, the original Roman road exposed in the city centre. At the Narbonne Cathedral, they’ll explore soaring Gothic architecture and peaceful cloisters. The tour continues to the Archbishop’s Palace courtyard, then into Les Halles, the town’s 120-year-old indoor food market bustling with life, colour, and local flavour. The experience also includes a walk across the Pont des Marchands, one of the few remaining Roman bridges still inhabited with shops. Throughout the tour, guests enjoy stories, insights, and a relaxed pace with a passionate local guide, accompanied by private transport to and from Carcassonne.

Cathédrale Saint-Just et Saint-Pasteur

At Cathédrale Saint-Just et Saint-Pasteur, travellers will step inside one of France’s most impressive Gothic cathedrals. They’ll admire soaring stone vaults, intricate stained-glass windows, and the cathedral’s famously unfinished nave. The guided visit includes a peaceful walk through the cloisters, where travellers will hear stories of medieval bishops, Roman ruins beneath their feet, and Narbonne’s once-glorious status as a Mediterranean stronghold.

Palais-Musée des Archevêques, Palais Vieux

At the Palais-Musée des Archevêques, travellers will explore the grand courtyard of Narbonne’s former Archbishop’s Palace — a stunning blend of medieval and classical architecture. Set on the lively Place de l’Hôtel de Ville, this stop offers views of the palace towers, the historic town hall, and the picturesque square below. The guide will explain the palace’s role in Narbonne’s religious and political history while travellers enjoy free time for photos and a relaxed stroll through this cultural centrepiece.

Les Halles de Narbonne Market

At Les Halles de Narbonne, travellers will explore one of southern France’s most vibrant covered markets, housed in a beautiful 1901 iron-and-glass pavilion. Guided through the lively aisles, they’ll discover fresh produce, artisan cheeses, charcuterie, seafood, and regional wines. The guide will highlight local specialities, share cultural insights, and provide tips for interacting with vendors. Guests will have the opportunity to browse, sample, or soak in the authentic atmosphere of this beloved local institution.

Canal de la Robine

(drive-by & short stop) At the Canal de la Robine, travellers will enjoy a peaceful moment along Narbonne’s scenic, UNESCO-listed waterway. Lined with plane trees and historic facades, the canal offers postcard-perfect views and a glimpse of the city’s riverine charm. The guide will share the canal’s connection to the Midi Canal system and its historical importance to Narbonne’s trade routes. This stop includes a short stroll and time for photos before continuing the tour.
