      On the Move Narbonne - Barcelona

      16. december 2023, Frankrig ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C

      A later train today so, having packed, we are back at the market for a pain de raisin and coffee. They have live jazz here this morning so listening to a few tunes and chilling.

      Caught the train and reserved seats all good.

      Barcelona is a shock after the smaller places we have been in. Standard travel lodge room as expected but the view out the window is onto a building site. On the plus side the street outside is lively and only a short stroll from the beach. Been for a walk and after a beer will go for a paella.

      Narbonne

      12. januar, Frankrig ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C

      Heute morgen schien zum Glück wieder die Sonne, auch wenn es trotzdem nicht so richtig warm ist. (Aber wir wollen uns nicht beschweren!) Bis Narbonne mussten wir nicht weit fahren, darum musste Jörg nicht ganz so früh aufstehen.

      Schon von weitem kann man die beeindruckende Kathedrale "Saint-Just et Saint-Pasteur" sehen.
      Durch Streitigkeiten im Stadtrat, Krieg und Angriffe, die Pest und immer wieder zu wenig Geld wurde der 1272 begonnene Bau nie fertiggestellt. Nur der Chor mit seinen 5 Kapellen und der Kreuzgang sind gebaut worden. (Fertig wäre die Kathedrale etwas kleiner als der Kölner Dom.)

      Narbonne

      8. april, Frankrig ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Narbonne, die Hauptstadt von Occitane Okzitanien. Das Frankreich,das von Paris so weit entfernt ist, wie Meck-Pomm von der Zugspitze.
      Salz aus den Salinen und Wein aus dem Corbières. Wind, Katharerburgen, Carcassonne ...
      Jesus war noch nicht erfunden (oder auf der Welt?) als man hier schon siedelte. Die Aude war der Transportweg bis dem Fluss im Mittelalter jäh ein anderes Bett gefiel.
      Der Canal du Robine, vom C. du Midi ist nutzt noch einen der alten sieben Brückenbögen.
      DAS ist eine Markthalle! Wovon man drei Sorten kennt, gibt's hier zehn. Man kann essen auf die Hand oder wie im Restaurant. Das Fleisch wird an die Stände geliefert, indem es über die Köpfe der Kundschaft geworfen wird. Ein Restaurant wird von einem Riesen betrieben, man sieht seine Fotos, er hat bis vor kurzem Rugby gespielt. Guilt Millau prämiert jährlich. Jeder der 365 Tage ist hier auch Markttag.

      Horreum Romain, Narbonne

      10. maj 2023, Frankrig ⋅ 🌬 18 °C

      This morning we did a tour of the Horreum which consists of underground galleries built during the first century BC. How wild is that!! Located just under five metres beneath modern day street level, these underground galleries are thought to be the foundations for a market, (Horreum means warehouse in Latin). With the absence of above ground remains the full structure cannot be certain and in the past some of the galleries have been modified or renovated, or used as private cellars by the homeowners above.

      Currently only the north and west galleries have been excavated, with the north gallery measuring almost 38 metres long and the west gallery measuring 50 metres long. Each gallery is 7.25 metres wide and the vaults have a height of 2.30 metre.

      Officially listed in 1838, the underground structures were classified as a Historical Monument in 1961 and were opened to the public in 1976. While the majority of artefacts located are now on display in an off-site museum, it was still amazing to walk the tunnels that people walked centuries ago. A very unique experience.

      Narbonne Cathedral

      10. maj 2023, Frankrig ⋅ 🌬 16 °C

      After spending the evening researching we discovered there isn’t a lot to see in Narbonne with a few of the suggested sites closed. Considering the busy days ahead it will be good to use this time to relax and recharge, getting ready for Spain. We still managed to see a few things today with the Narbonne Cathedral being our first stop, surprisingly enough - not.

      Narbonne’s Cathedral is visible from every part of the old town area as it soars above the buildings. It is the highest Gothic choir in France, reaching over forty metres high. Cathedrale Saint Just et Saint Pasteur de Narbonne (it’s full title) has a long history with the current building being built on the same site as the Constantinian Basilica was built in 313. It has been a religious site since then. The building of the current structure commenced in 1272, however the building was never finished due to many factors, including the sudden changed in the economic status of Narbonne, its unusual size and location (to complete it would mean demolishing the city wall) and the financial constraints. Even with the “extension” not completed it is still a huge church.

      The cathedral contains multiple medieval tombs with several archbishops entombed close to the altar and the tombs are spectacular in their details. The attention to the tiniest of details, the representation of death, the amazing craftsmanship, all make these tombs very interesting.

      While the cathedral is impressive with its soaring height, it was sad to see the damage done to many of the stonework pieces, with so many statues and sculptures either broken and missing pieces or missing altogether. It is obvious this is not a rich church as it needs a lot of attention. However, the stunning stained glass windows, beautiful tapestries,

      The exterior is an impressive structure too, with its many arches and angles. I do love the gargoyles but do question how old the dog one is. It is such an odd animal to be used compared to the others and in such good shape. I suspect it is a more recent addition. Even though the cathedral is unfinished what remains shows how truely magnificent this building would have been if it was completed.

      Dag 3, 4 en 5 - Gruissan en Narbonne

      19. juli 2023, Frankrig ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

      Na het fijn vertoeven in Auvergne bij Walter "Kid Coco" Urkens en Greet "Verslikt zich in Schweppes" Caers, zetten we onze reis verder naar Narbonne. Aangezien het lekker warm is, zo rond de dertigste graden, kiezen we ervoor om eerst naar Gruissan te gaan naar een meer afgelegen strand. Er was bijna niemand op het strand en toen het even daarna heel kort regende, hadden we het strand en de zee helemaal voor ons alleen. Zo zwemmen in de zee terwijl het regent, dat heeft ook wel iets. Gelukkig was het kort nadien terug droog en zonnig zodat we aan strandbar nog iets konden drinken.
      De komende twee nachten verblijven we dus in Narbonne. De AirBnB kon bijna niet centraler liggen, deze ligt namelijk op 10 meter van de Cathédrale Saint-Just-et-Saint-Pasteur. De buitendeur laat het zo niet uitschijnen, maar eenmaam binnen is het werkelijk één van de mooiste verblijfplaatsen die we al hebben gehad: een prachtige binnenkoer met planten en zwembad, veel plaatsen met zeteltjes in de schaduw, een grote veranda, koele slaapkamer... Daarbovenop zijn de twee gastvrouwen ook echt enorm vriendelijk. Marie en Silvy doen er alles aan om ons meteen thuis te laten voelen. Narbonne is ook een heel mooie plaats om te bezoeken. We deden er de volgende zaken: we liepen over de wekelijkse markt, verdwaalden in de verschillende steegjes, beklommen de toren met mooie stadsgezichten, gingen naar het Musee d'Art et d'Histoire ... Ten slotte nog een echte aanrader als restaurant: Cave à vins et à manger - Maison Saint Crescent. Een wijnbar met enorm veel verschillende gerechten.

      Narbonne

      29. august 2023, Frankrig ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

      Auf dem Weg nach Ageles-sur-mer fahren wir noch durch Narbonne und sehen uns die Altstadt an.
      Sehr eindrücklich die grosse Kathedrale, welche vor hunderten von Jahren erbaut wurde.
      Die Parkplätze sind eher für Fiat 500 gebaut als für die heutigen Autos. Es war ein kompliziertes unterfangen einen Parkplatz zu finden in welchen wir auch einfahren konnten...Læs mere

      Next Stop - Narbonne, France

      9. maj 2023, Frankrig ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      We sadly left Avignon and made our way to our last French town before our holiday continues into Spain. Originally we had planned to go to Nice but had heard it wasn’t that pleasant so changed our destination to Narbonne. Narbonne was the site of Narbo Martius, the first colony founded by the Romans in 118BC, from which the town derived its name. It came up in my research as one of the pretty towns in France to visit and we are hoping that is true.

      The dark clouds have followed us and once again we have arrived to a new town and grey clouds. We did our usual luggage drop and headed out to get our bearings and see what Narbonne is all about. It actually isn’t that busy and it appears a lot of places close for an afternoon siesta, something we really hadn’t seen much of until now.

      We stopped for lunch where Brad had a pot of mussels and I opted for a hamburger (yes again as there wasn’t a lot on the menu that I felt like). It was a very nice lunch and the drinks were cheap. It is nice having cheaper food prices here as it has been a lot more expensive than we have experienced on our previous trips.

      We wandered up a few street after lunch, just trying to get a feel for the place. It has a very different feel to our previous stops and while it is a nice town it hasn’t won me over yet, and I’m not sure why. It is clean, it has some beautiful buildings, lovely laneways, everything I love but I’m not sure what is missing. Tomorrow will be our day to experience more and see what Narbonne really has to offer.

      Exploring Narbonne

      10. maj 2023, Frankrig ⋅ 🌬 20 °C

      After we ticked off the sites we wanted to visit in Narbonne we spent the afternoon walking through town, admiring the buildings and the canal. We had a walk through Les Halles, the fresh food markets and made some purchases to cook dinner in our apartment. Our lovely apartment has a sunny terrace where we relaxed in the sunshine and enjoyed some down time.Læs mere
