Comments: 0 | Categories: Aude day trips , Aude France images , Living and working in France , Shopping in the Aude , Travel

Narbonne doesn't 'sing' to me and I'm not sure why. All the ingredients are there. The Canal du Robine running through the city, a market every morning in Les Halles, a very impressive cathedral, lots of restaurants, a theatre. It should work but, for me, it doesn't. I don't feel a buzz, that energy that makes a city 'sympa'.
