A fascinating church in Narbonne with long history as noted here by other posters. We went specifically to see the crypt, which has dug into the adjoining burial ground to expose centuries of sarcophagi and layers of bone in the dirt. A real descent into the underworld accessed through this church, which has evidence of destruction from the French Revolution as well as the famous frog in the holy water basin.

There is something about the cathedrales in France. The Cathedrale St Just in Narbonne is very impressive. You cannot help to feel humble and quiet if you wander through this magnificent building. It is right in the centre of Narbonne and it has a lovely garden.

Beautiful abbey just outside Narbonne (you need transport). In an excellent state of repair and an informative leaflet (although the downloadable PDF is better- available French, English, Spanish). The cloisters are interesting, as are the gardens, but the piece de resistance is the church with its incredible stained glass windows. We came back in the evening to watch the light show (10-midnight). We were concerned that we would just see everything again, but in the evening, but the show was completely different and an excellent evening experience. The beautifully done show in the tour d’honneur/ courtyard (french only) was the highlight, as was a nice light show in the Louis XIV courtyard. Not too expensive (unless you opt for their meal+show, which we didn’t).
6. Eglise Notre-Dame des Sablons
7. Abbaye Saint Martin du Canigou

4.5 based on 396 reviews
On an eagle's nest in the heart of the Massif du Canigou, the former Benedictine Abbey of St. Martin's discretely overhangs the valley since the XI century. A unique site just waiting to be discovered by the delighted rambler, with ist bell tower, marble capitals, the vaulted abbey-church and crypt... A jewel of early Romanesque architecture typical of this region.

The walk up to this Abbey, perched on the top of a mountain, is fantastic (about 40 mins, bring walking shoes). The kids (aged 4 and 6) enjoyed it too. The Abbey is a great reward at the end, the guided tour (in French) is very well done and interesting (even for young children), and there are views of the mountains from all around the Abbey.

This is such a beautiful Church steeped in history. Although it is situated at the top of a hill, it is fairly easy to access from the town. Admission is free (there is a donation box) and it is well looked after. There is a lovely courtyard and the views from the Cathedral grounds are magnificent. It is certainly worth paying a visit if you are in Béziers.
