Narbonne’s covered market is one of the most beautiful in France. Built at the turn of the 20th century, it’s a masterpiece of art nouveau style, with panels of frosted glass, decorative stonework and a wonderful cast-iron roof. Inside, more than 70 stalls sell cheese, charcuterie, poultry, meat and fish as well as fruit, flowers and wine.
