This year, it is decided, place at the turn of the day: we're embarking on small and large for Christmas. And it's in Narbonnaise that we put the suitcases on a weekend with family. To explore Narbonne, the Roman city, its hinterland, its magnificent and wild landscapes. Enjoy all the flavors, contemplate the old stones, taste local products that delight the papillae, by slalomating on the promenade on the edge of the Robine Canal at the rhythm of the Christmas songs. For Christmas parties, it's the art of living. Languedoc chosen to adopt.
In search of starch
As every year, during the year-end celebrations, the frenzy wins the whole city, in a blunt poetic and enchanting atmosphere: Here a parade of jugglers, fucks, acrobats and fairies together with another parade, that of all the more colorful stuffing. There, on the edge of the Robine Canal, a magnificent gospel song. We stop at the Christmas market, learn a little more about the culture of truffle, the vineyards of Narbonnaise or the delicate honey of the surrounding garrigues. We grow up to centenary halves, the lung of the city, savor the «Christmas menu all in white!»" the craftsmen of the site concocted the umpteenth round of carnage to the small won by the enchantment of the places.

The Oyster Huts of Leucate
We don't leave Narbonnaise without first tasting the unique universe of Leucate Shellfish Base, 30 minutes from Narbonne. Here, the undisputed star of the place is an oyster with fine flesh and taste of hazelnut, which is tasted live among oysters. We take place in simple scoundrels, "oyster huts", to gobble up some freshly picked of the day accompanied by a white glass of Leucate. And you'll be fooled by the gentle sea crapola, fascinated by the movement of the flat boats of the oysters that bring their spoils back.

Cistercian Jewel in the heart of Narbonnaise
Not far from Narbonne, depressing time, nestled in the heart of a generous nature, stands one of the most beautiful Cistercian abbeys in the south of France: the abbey of Fontfroid. A visit is needed to immerse itself in the calm of this magnificent century monument. And take it up by contemplating the stained stained glass windows that dress the abbey church. The digital option for the visit is chosen without hesitation. The Abbey, converted to the new technologies, has a total of 250 tablets. And it's so much better to get children's attention! This is how we discover the site, through a new multimedia experience composed of audio comments.
And who better than Jordi Savall, the famous Catalan gambist, has been there every year since 2006 during the Music and History Festival, to translate the irresistible appeal of the Abbey of Fontfroid into the souls of passage?
