Narbonne is a village in the southern France in the Languedoc Roussillon region.
In this town there is one of the famous national monument of France : the Narbonne Cathedral St.Just and St.Pasteur. The
St-Just and St-Pasteur Cathedral (Narbonne Cathedral) and the neighboring Archbishop' Palace form a unique architectural ensemble.
The architecture of the cathedral is Gothic style. It remains
unfinished since the laying of the first stone in 1272. The plans required the partial demolition of the
town wall, but the town council, fearing English invasion, refused to allow it. This, coupled with
wars and
epidemics, has left Narbonne Cathedral with only the choir and transept completed.
The town architecture is typique of south of France.
