Narbonne, the antique Roman provincial capital, treasure trove of antiquities and birthplace of Charles Trenet. Castelnaudary, home of the famous cassoulet, and Limoux, known for its blanquette. Lézignan-Corbières, wine bastion, Quillan, gateway to the Pyrenees, and Coursan, with its rich architectural heritage. Trèbes, crossed by the Canal du Midi, Bram with its unique circular shape, and Sigean, with its African reserve.
