The Pontoon Walk
This is one of the must-see walks on the Côte du Midi!
And one of the most photogenic places you can go during the day to capture the beauty of the pink flamingos as the sun sets to capture the colour and light of a magnificent sunset on the lagoon.
"Rue Plongeante"
Bages, a small village perched on top of a rock, offers a breathtaking view of the lagoons.
A small picturesque, authentic, artistic jewel with undeniable, extremely photogenic charm! Everything is Instagrammable but our favourite is the street at the top of the village with flowers and a view of the lagoon.
Sunrise at the Beach
This is a must for early risers! Go to the seashore in Port-La Nouvelle, Narbonne-plage or Saint Pierre La Mer to watch the sun rise over the Mediterranean horizon.
Time will stand still as you admire the sight and enjoy the moment... and you’ll leave with a photo of the #sunrise that will be a huge hit on social networks!
Sunset on the lagoons
For #sunsetlovers like me, go to La Nautique near Narbonne at the end of the day to capture the beautiful colours of the sunset on the lagoon of Bages.
If you're lucky, shades of pink or orange will light up the skies of the Côte du Midi for you and your Instagram followers to enjoy!
The Belvedere of the Clape
On the road between Narbonne and the Mediterranean, a true symbol of the road to your holiday destination, is a mandatory stop before you arrive at Narbonne-Plage or Saint Pierre La Mer!
On the top of the massif de la Clape, is a viewpoint that offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding nature and the Mediterranean.
The blue of the sky and the sea against the green of the vines: you won't need a filter to take a successful photo here!
The Gilles Aycelin Donjon
42 metres high, this powerful square tower was built between 1295 and 1306 by Archbishop Gilles Aycelin: it offers an exceptional view of Narbonne and the surrounding area!
But the view has to be earned - first you have to climb the 162 steps! Then catch your breath and smile!
"Le Pont des Marchands" (The Merchants' Bridge)
One of the only two inhabited bridges in France, it's worth a post!
Landernau and the Merchants' Bridge of Narbonne is the last inhabited bridges in France.
This bridge consists of seven arches, only one of which is visible, which shows the width of the ancient Aude! It will fit into your shot perfectly.
The Giant Bench
In the "Jardin des Archevêques de Narbonne": as well as a superb view of the "Palais-Musée des Archevêques" and the "Cathedral", a strange work of art awaits you on the terrace!
The first challenge is to climb up onto it... And then you’re a Mini-Me! The poses and the angles are up to you!
The XXL Selfie
It isn't always easy to take a nice selfie with your family and you can't always see the landscape... In Narbonne, we have the solution: the XXL selfie!
Go to the Barques footbridge in the city centre, follow the instructions on the sign, click on your smartphone and you will leave with an exceptional souvenir of Narbonne!

The Somail Bridge
Le Somail is one of the most charming villages of the Côte du Midi! One of the most photogenic too: the small stone bridge over the Canal du Midi looks picturesque from all angles!
Whether you look at it from below, from the right or left bank, or crossing it and admiring the Canal, you’ll get the perfect shot.
Sometimes our friends the geese, who have taken up residence in Le Somail, also pose for the camera :)
Le Gouffre de l’Oeil Doux
Attention! Geological curiosity ahead!
There’s a walk through umbrella pines near Saint Pierre La Mer, leading to an emerald lake in the heart of the scrubland. It is actually an underground cave whose upper wall has collapsed…
If you search on the Internet, you’ll find plenty of rumours and legends about the l’Oeil Doux! It's worth a post...
Narbonne
NarbonneGolden Hour in winter
Like a touch of gold on our treasures!
Winter offers exceptional light on the facades of our historic monuments.
Take a stroll around 5pm in Narbonne town centre in January and capture this magical moment when the sun puts a golden glow on the Cathedral or the Archbishops' Palace-Museum. It's magical!
The Canigou from the beach
In winter, the Côte du Midi is a land of contrasts! Much to the delight of photographers.
One of the most photogenic is the Mediterranean bordered by our long beaches, with the snow-capped Canigou in the background! The sea, the mountains, the wide open spaces, the feeling of having this spectacle all to ourselves...
And to make sure the sun is on our side, we're immortalising this splendid view in the morning!
