Narbonne, France: Does it Meet the Criteria??

After spending several weeks in Narbonne, France, we found ourselves asking a bigger question than just, “Did we enjoy it?” The real question became: Could we actually live here? In this video, we reflect on our time experiencing Narbonne’s culture, daily rhythm, traditions, food scene, walkable streets, Roman history, beach access, train connections, and vibrant markets. From mornings along the canal and Saturdays at the local market to afternoons at Narbonne Plage and evenings in neighborhood cafés, we didn’t just visit — we immersed ourselves. Narbonne isn’t one of France’s most talked-about cities. It’s not flashy or overwhelming. But sometimes the places that don’t shout the loudest are the ones that quietly stay with you. We explore what daily life really feels like here — the cost of simple pleasures, the accessibility of culture, the pace of the city, the sense of community — and whether this historic southern France town could realistically be a place we’d call home. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to spend a few weeks living in a European city rather than just passing through… or if Narbonne, France is on your radar as a travel destination or potential home base… this honest reflection is for you. Because sometimes the most important travel question isn’t, “Was it beautiful?” It’s, “Could we see ourselves living here?” Thanks for traveling with us. ----------------------- 🟣 Check out Our Travel Essentials**: https://www.anywayyoutravel.com/our-gear 🟠 Follow Our Travel Blog: https://www.anywayyoutravel.com/blog ----------------------- 🔴 Join Our YouTube Community...Thanks for the Support:    / @anywayyoutravel   🔵 BUY US A COFFEE: Support us with a One Time gift of $5, $15, or $25 to help us continue to bring you this wonderful world to you!! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/anywayyo... ----------------------- SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: 👉 Instagram:   / _anywayyoutravel   👉 Facebook:   / anywayyoutravel   👉 Threads: https://www.threads.net/@_anywayyoutr... ----------------------- SERVICES WE USE WHEN TRAVELING: 🧳 *Bounce allows you to securely store your Luggage ACROSS the world while YOU sightsee!! https://bounce.com/?ref=MARKKREMER686... 🏠 *Trusted House Sitters allows you travel and SAVE on Lodging!
