To sample the delights of local cuisine, there's nothing like a trip to the historic centre, home to a number of renowned bistros.

As an aperitif, the locals are particularly fond of biting into a few Lucques olives, popular for their crunchy flesh. Other popular dishes in the Narbonnais region include seafood, such as sea bream and hake. These two fish will delight you with their flavour, and they have the advantage of being prepared calmly. To accompany these tasty dishes, let yourself be tempted by the fougasse with fritons and its incredibly soft crumb. The commune may not be famous for its desserts, but it does have one sweet substance that everyone loves! This is rosemary honey, appreciated for its delicacy and used in the preparation of a number of pastries, including croquants. If you'd like to pick up a few local products on your holiday, you should visit the organic market held every Saturday morning - you won't regret it! How can you mention the gastronomy of the Aude and Narbonne without mentioning the success of its vineyards? The Clape and Fontfroide massifs in particular promise unique vintages every year.
