MAISON DES TROIS NOURRICES
The only type of Renaissance architecture of the 16th century that Narbonne still possesses is the House of the Three Nurses.
In the heart of the old medieval neighbourhood, within walking distance from Basilique Saint-Paul-Serge, this private residence is one of the jewels of the district of Bourg. This is the only type of Renaissance architecture of the sixteenth-century Narbonne still has. Maison des Trois Nourrices owes its name to the large breasts of the caryatids of its facade. These sculptures surround the bay with pier glass and adorn the southern frontage. In Narbonne, it is said that the house received Molière and that Cinq-Mars was arrested while he plotted against Richelieu. Since its restoration in 2007, it has been housing the Prenatal Service of the Hospital. This house can be visited within European Heritage Days.

Un chef d'œuvre de raffinement perdu dans une rue paumée , pas évidente à trouver . La bâtisse ne se visite pas apparemment .
