Magestical site, transported in time, this structure although incomplete stills gives the impression of grandeur. Feel history come alive, this place certainly takes you on a journey through time. Just use your imagination.

Stunning medieval original structure with several later additions in subsequent centuries. The former palace of the archbishops of Narbonne is now a museum and public building at the hub of the city and providing a magnificent backdrop to the main square in the centre. At the rear, past the stunted cathedral, visitors have a chance to relax in the well tended and laid out gardens, providing wonderful views of the ancient building alongside the contemporary oxidized iron installation to access a less interesting space on a higher level. No visit to Narbonne should exclude.
