About this property

Beautiful apartment in historic residence in the heart of Roman Languedoc

Located in 'centre ville' of beautiful Narbonne, the ancient capital of Occitania (modern-day Provence, Languedoc, and Aquitaine), this apartment is appreciated by its guests, many of whom return year after year to take advantage of the 'sunny south' while enjoying all modern comforts. Only 20 minutes to the beautiful beaches of Gruissan and Narbonne Plage, as well as to various mythic Cathar castles, the city of Narbonne itself offers plenty of entertainment year-round. From its Michelin-starred restaurant to its genuine Italian pizzarias, and especially its renowned 'Halles' (covered market), open every day of the year, it's a gourmand's paradise!

Very well located apartment
Traditional old apartment in centre of Narbonne. It is an easy walk to Les Halles, the Cathedral, shops and restaurants. We recommend the local octopus pies with a glass of local wine. It is well worth a trip to Collioure and also the cove at Pauliles has a great walk round to Cap Bear, after the exercise the fine dining restaurant at the vineyard de Paulilles was superb reward!

A Perfect Location
This apartment is perfect in every way. It is beautifully decorated, conveniently located, and equipped with everything you need. The owner, who is fluent in both English and French, answered all our questions and provided much useful information. We greatly enjoyed our five-night stay and highly recommend this apartment for your "home away from home" in Narbonne.

Another wonderful stay at La Brigade. What a great place!
We always stay at La Brigade while in Narbonne. This was going to be our last stay there as we planned to sign the acte and move into our new apartment in Narbonne. Of course, this is France and we couldn’t move in as planned because the paperwork wasn’t right. After 10 days at La Brigade, we had to move to another rental in Narbonne. (We couldn’t stay longer as someone else had booked it after us.). We thought La Brigade was awesome, but now that we can compare it to something else, awesome doesn’t even begin to describe it. Our new rental, for about the same price, is half the size and is situated on the third floor of the building without a lift (which wasn’t mentioned in the website). La Brigade had every amenity we could possibly need; the new place didn’t come with a spatula. We love the washer and dryer at La Brigade since it makes washing clothes easy and allows us pack light. We will be looking for a laundromat soon. The bathroom at LaBrigade is roomy and the shower is great. Our new bathroom is about 2 square meters and shower doesn’t have a bracket for the removable shower head. The new place is clean but it goes without saying La Brigade is spotless. I can strongly recommend La Brigade without reservations. Wish I was there now.

Classic French Apartment
Unbeatable location in the center of Narbonne. Literally 2-3 minute walk to all of the best places in Narbonne. Beautiful apartment in a classic French building. The apartment has everything you want or need. WiFi works great and French cable TV available along with a DVD player. The shower worked great - plenty of hot water and excellent water pressure. Having a washer and dryer in the apartment allowed us to pack lighter than usual since we could easily throw in a load of clothes before heading to Les Halles. We have a house we rent out via AirBnB so when we rent, we always try to leave the rental cleaner than when we arrived. The place was spotless when we got there and Laura (The hostess) even stocked the refrigerator with milk, water, butter, and yogurt when we arrived. That is a first for us anywhere we’ve stayed. BTW - Laura was super. She not only provided a great rental, she helped us with a slew of advice and recommendations as we looked for an apartment to buy in Narbonne. She sent me information on real estate, notaries, HVAC installers, French wills (yes if you are an American buying property in France you need a French will), and even sent me links on YouTube for French language courses. We will stay here again when we come back to Narbonne.

Great Stay
In September 2018 my husband and I had a wonderful stay in La Brigade , which is in the heart of historic Narbonne. The apartment is nicely decorated and very well equipped. It was a pleasure to make meals in the beautiful kitchen after shopping in the magnificent covered market (Les Halles) nearby. The lovely owners provided us a list of the best local places to eat, and were very responsive to all our questions.

Nearly a perfect place
This cozy apartment is in a prime location short blocks from shops, sites, and restaurants of Narbonne - a lovely small prosperous city under the radar. Laura could not have been a better hostess. Something to consider for some is the loft bedroom, where the head height was just low enough to learn to duck if you are 6' or more.

A quintessential French apartment in the heart of Narbonne
Absolutely perfect spot in the heart of Narbonne. When you come through the gate into a courtyard you know you are in France. Beautifully appointed apartment, from the kitchen amenities, laundry facilities to the lovely decor and loft bedroom. The photos on the website do not do it full justice, it is even more attractive in person. A short walk to most attractions, Les Halles, the Cathedral, the canal etc. Restaurants and Patisseries in every direction. We immensely enjoyed our stay. It was a great location to go out on day cycling trips and evening walks exploring Narbonne itself. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Hübsches, gut ausgestattetes Appartement in zentraler Lage
Schönes Appartement mit den wesentlichen Attraktionen von Narbonne (Kathedrale, Markthallen, Restaurants und Cafés, usw.) in unmittelbarer Reichweite. Gut ausgestattete Küche, DVD- Player, Stereoanlage und Wifi. Alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Parken geht besser auf den öffentlichen Parkplätzen als in unmittelbarer Nähe der Wohnung. Insgesamt ist das Appartement sehr empfehlenswert.

Clean, well kept apartment, everything available for a comfortable stay. Exceptionally helpful landlord, my son and I lived here for a longer period and had some more special needs, like printer or practical information of how to 'go about' living in Narbonne.

About the host

Hosted by Laura RHODES

Host profile image
We manage the property ourselves, and take seriously our responsibility to provide a our guests a place of respite that is beautiful, calm, well-equipped, and very clean. Guests coming from this site have left three nice reviews in English, and there are a couple of other reviews on the other site we use:

Why they chose this property

To tell you a little about ourselves, we are an American couple living in France since 2000. In 2004 my husband's mother died, leaving him a small inheritance, and he wanted to find us a "second residence" in France. I chose Narbonne simply by chance -- I had changed trains there twice en route to Barcelona -- and within two hours of arriving in the city we were shown this apartment. It was love at first sight!

We signed for the apartment the next day, and took ownership in February 2005. We've been renting it to vacationers -- both short and long-term -- since the summer of 2006. In 2010-2011 we lived in the apartment ourselves for nine months, and for that reason especially it is extremely well equipped! (We installed the air conditioning then, too.)

What makes this property unique

If you wish to spend your vacation in complete comfort (A/C and heating both work extremely well!), just a minute or two by foot from several good restaurants, cafés, bars, and historic monuments, you will be very happy in "La Brigade". Moreover, Narbonne is well situated to take off for one of the two beautiful Mediterranean beaches, bicycle along the canal, or to explore "Cathar country".

The apartment is only 10-12 minutes by foot from the Gare (train station) de Narbonne, from where a short train ride will take you to Montpellier, Sète, Agde and Beziers to the North, Carcassonne and Toulouse to the West, and Perpignan and Collioure to the South.

Now that the Spanish AVE trains are in service, it's even possible to do Barcelona as a day trip... although it's such a fabulous city that I would recommend spending two nights there minimum!
