A beautiful and
spacious second floor two bedroom apartment, overlooking the tree lined canal
La Robine, in the pretty city of Narbonne.
Boutiques, cafés, bars with live music and restaurants are within a five
to ten minute walk and just a few minutes more will take you to the
fabulous historic buildings or the indoor gourmet market. Many of the
city's streets and bridges are laden with floral baskets welcoming
visitors to smell the flowers and enjoy its relaxed pace. Just a minute's
walk away is a pretty park with a boules pitch and wonderful little
playground at one end; and a canal view and little stream at the other -
a peaceful spot to lie in the sun or under the shade of the trees.
Narbonne is perfectly situated for a beautiful 15 minute drive to the
beach or heading off further a field to explore the historic sites of the
region such as Carcassonne, Minerve, Sete, Collioure, Lagrasse and the
wine regions of Corbieres and Minervois. Although car rental is
recommended, the train station is within walking distance and there are
buses to the coast. Travel light to this well equipped apartment which
has everything down to an iron, books, CDs and DVDs.
