Our classic Canal du Midi cruises include a visit to Narbonne, a Roman Mediterranean capital where the Visigoth monarchs once lived. Explore the indoor market at the hub of this bustling town, where you will have time to shop or simply absorb the relaxed atmosphere.
Narbonne was the first town outside of Italy to be colonized by the Romans and grew to be the second largest town in Gaul. Once a coastal port, it prospered until the sea receded in the Middle Ages. It is now eight miles inland. Today Narbonne has a well-restored medieval quarter. The Cathédral St-Just is the tallest cathedral in southern France and is known for its beautiful stained glass and tapestries.

Just 20 minutes from World Heritage city of Albi and an hour from Toulouse, but situated in magnificent countryside, this Palladian-style Château is priced at a bargain non-negotiable level to ensure a quick sale. Oozing style this spacious property has the Palladian virtue of large, flowing, interconnecting rooms with tall double doors and large double windows overlooking the gardens & elegant marble fire places.
On the ground floor are the main reception rooms, all interconnecting -- with a large and sumptuous Entrance Hall which leads into the Salon (with potential to seat at least 100 on tables of 10) and straight ahead the magnificent Grand Salon (Ballroom), which also connects through double doors with the Salon. Presently set up as a reception room which easily converts for dancing, the Grand Salon has French double doors leading into the garden as well as double doors into the Petit Salon (drawing room) on the left and the Dining Room on the right, beside which is another interconnecting room of the same size. Off the gracious and elegant Staircase Hall is a Bibliotheque as well as a cloakroom and bathroom. There is of course also a kitchen on this floor.
On the first floor are eight bedrooms and five bath/shower rooms.
The stonework on the second floor is a particular feature of the chateau, with a vast reception room which runs from the front to the back of the house as well as four large bedrooms, two bathrooms and a storage facility. (This area needs some finishing).
The chateau is easily accessible by road and air (airports include Toulouse, Rodez, and Carcassonne) with room for a heli-pad. There is ample space for a marquee of any size.
The chateau is located on a working Domaine which produces the famous Roquefort cheese, so there is a bit of activity going on. It is situated in its own park laid to grass with mature trees and flowering shrubs. It is surrounded by farmland.
It is being sold with woodland, an orchard with plum & apple trees as well as another small parcel of land. 3.5 hectares in total. The park immediately around the château measures 8,590m², so just over 2 acres, and plenty of space for a pool. Some of the fixtures & fittings may be available by separate negotiation. Full details, including room sizes and more photos available.
Please note this property has been on the market at 995,000 € FAI with other agents -- hence the non negotiable price.

7 Most Beautiful Cities in France
Most beautiful cities in France
Le Puy-en-Velay
Albi
Dijon
Lyon
Nantes
Aix-en-Provence
Orleans
Albi
It is referred to as the jewel of the Midi-Pyrenees region and is one of the most attractive small cities in France. It has only recently begun to get recognized for its beauty and charming personality though and visitors will find that it is still quiet and unassuming. The medieval St. Cecilia’s cathedral is at the forefront of the remarkable medieval center, looking more like some array of medieval grain silos than a church. Insides it is one of the finest late gothic buildings in
Dijon
Yes we all have heard of this town, if only in reference to Dijon mustard but this former capital city of Burgundy offers visitors a lot more than that yellowish brown condiment. The city was once under the powerful and notorious Dukes and the Ducal Palace is certainly a sight to see, a collection of buildings all gold with painted ceilings, pomp and circumstance. The whole city is actually full of medieval and renaissance style buildings, making it one of the most appealing towns in the country. Dijon ranks high on the list in terms of fine wine, shopping and exceptional food. There are plenty of excellent accommodations, wine tours and streets to walk through. One thing is for certain when you visit this city, you certainly won’t be thirsty.
Lyon
Although it is France’s second largest city, it often loses out as a destination with visitors who use it as just an airport city. In fact this gracious historic city was once an important Roman settlement with a gastronomic reputation, second only to Paris. The historic quarter where visitors can wander the streets through 16th century secret passageways is not to be missed and is loaded with antique shops and bookstores. The range of museums to be visited here is truly unbelievable and visitors can even watch the first film ever made. One of the best times to visit this city is in December when the Festival of Lights takes place. The facades of buildings are covered in thousands of twinkling lights and are known throughout France for being one of the best. The real draw here for tourists should be the food, and throughout the city expect some of the best hearty meals you have ever had.
Nantes
It was once a mighty port that grew rich on the slave trade but now remains largely unvisited by tourists. This lively university town is in fact full of attractions and some incredible seafood restaurants. Visitors will want to head to the castle of the Dukes of Brittany with its cathedral housing the beautiful 1502 tomb of Francois II and the stunning botanical gardens, a castle turned museum that tells the story of the city and region. The former ship-building quarter is perhaps the most underrated portion of the city though. This is where the strange huge machines are made. Think a huge elephant strutting through the area with people riding on its back, a carousal where you sit in imaginary sea creatures and work their controls and a workshop that creates bizarre creations for worldwide destinations. This city is built for walking, through its gracious squares, past the grand houses and through the streets.
Aix-en-Provence
This is truly the ultimate Provencal city, with its majestic and aging fountains around every turn. Its leafy boulevards and public squares are lined with 17th and 18th century mansions with haughty stone lions standing guard. It is a city of art, light and activity; home to several universities and art schools. The center of this town is the old town and small enough to explore by foot, and make sure you pay a visit to the only 14th century tower that remains at the northwest corner of the town. The Cours Mirabeau is the beautiful tree-lined avenue bursting with terrace cafes and bookstores, and large trees providing much needed shade on hot summer days. Make sure to visit the many markets in this town, from the colorful flower market to the daily food market to the unique clothing market
Orleans
This is a city that has struggled to return to its former glory, after being devastated during World War II; and even before that the Romans, Attila the Hun and the English all tried to wipe it out. It has managed to retain some pretty fantastic historic buildings though and its connection with Joan of Arc makes it one of the most underrated and beautiful cities in France. Visitors should head to the tourist office when they reach Orleans as they have an itinerary designed for visitors that will allow you to see the main sites of interest in the city and appreciate the examples of renaissance architecture, Roman style cathedrals and various museums. Some of the best castles in France are located right outside the actual city and deserve a visit. Make sure to visit the House of Joan of Art, along with her statue as well as City Hall in which everyone in the city is required to be married and Hotel Groslot, one of the nicest buildings in Orleans.
