Fontfroide abbey
A Cistercian abbey tucked away in a small valley, near Narbonne.
Set apart from Narbonne, in a small valley of the Corbières, Fontfroide abbey is a remarkable Cistercian ensemble: cloister, abbey church and terraced gardens.
A trip towards the Mediterranean
The abbey is closer to Narbonne than to Carcassonne: a visit can be combined with a trip to the coast. Tours, opening hours and prices: see the official website.
