There is absolutely
no reason for tourists to visit the small town of Narbonne. Unless, of course, you're following a personal rule of not transferring at train stations. So I spent one night in this delightful little town, absolutely and utterly charmed by how pleasant it is. There's a lovely canal to walk around. Little shops tucked into small roads around le Place de l'Hôtel de Ville.
Dinner was duck confit pizza from Restaurant L'Ave, with a view of the Roman Road (la Via Domitia). Not much else was open, 'think I must've arrived on a Sunday (an
hebdomodaire-ly issue for us travelers). Breakfast before heading back to the train station was an over-the-top strawberry pâte à choux from Monsieur Pâte à Choux.
There was a free shuttle that dropped me off near my AirBnB and the train station. Once I found the stop near the train station (took a bit of effort), it was smooth sailing! However, my AirBnB in Narbonne had the smallest spiral staircase of my entire trip...and then the host had given me the wrong code for the door. Nothing says fun like sitting at the top of an un-air-conditioned "European death stairs" siphoning wifi from underneath the door of your AirBnB while waiting for a response from your host! But all travel is expected to have moments like these. After 15 minutes, it was resolved and everything was great.
