La Cité of Narbonne, around the cathedral and the Archbishops' Palace. Google Maps.
La Cité is the historic heart of Narbonne, on the north bank of the canal de la Robine. It stands on the site of the Roman forum of Narbo Martius, then of the medieval episcopal quarter, and has kept a fabric of narrow streets, among them the rue Droite and the rue de la Major, around its great monuments.
The district brings together the cathedral of Saint-Just-et-Saint-Pasteur, whose Gothic chancel was never finished, the Archbishops' Palace, which today houses the town hall, and the Horreum, Roman underground warehouses preserved beneath the streets. The pont des Marchands, one of the few inhabited bridges in France, links it to Le Bourg. The quai d'Alsace and quai de Lorraine, the place Roger Salengro, the Grand Narbonne multimedia library and the station, on its northern edge, complete the picture.
On the market, La Cité sits at around 2 105 €/m² for an apartment, below the town average. With about 136 sales per year, it is by far the most active district in Narbonne: its average is the most reliable and serves as the benchmark for the local market. The housing stock, largely period, shows wide gaps depending on condition and energy rating.
La Cité attracts first-time buyers, investors and buyers looking for the immediate proximity of the shops, the quays and the heritage, at prices below the town average.
