So, this morning I finally found an internet café in Narbonne and posted the last 4 days. This is more or less what I anticipated on this trip. The first week with regular and free wi-fi was a bonus. The Narbonne internet café was a very reputable place with over 60 computers – not that I needed one – and it was in a nice neighbourhood with great café facilities that the others could enjoy. As we set out through Narbonne, we found it to be a really fascinating town, with lots to see and photograph. The cathedral here – St. Just – has the 3rd highest ceiling in all of the French cathedrals. At 134 feet from altar to the roof, this is one massive cathedral. Of course, the obligatory amazing art works dominate the space, but the ancient altar, discovered under stucco in only 1981 and restored in its 1000 pieces, was worth the visit alone. We took the recommended Michelin town walk and found it very interesting, especially compared to yesterday’s Perpignan. Also, there was a very large market in progress and they have a market building as well – Les Halles – so the girls were especially happy – one more table cloth!
