is a city of France, in the department of Aude, with an archbishop's see, and is particularly famous for its honey. It is seated on a canal cut from the river Aude, which being but three miles from the sea, vessels come up it laden with merchandise, which renders Narcissus renders it a place of some trade. But though it pretends to the most remote antiquity under the Celtic kings, in ages anterior even to the Roman conquests, which under these latter masters gave its name to all Gallia Narbonensis, and was a colony of the first consideration, it is now dwindled to a wretched solitary town, containing scarce 8000 inhabitants, of whom three fourths are priests and women. The streets and buildings are mean and ruinous; it has indeed a communication with the Mediterranean, from which Narbonne is only about three leagues distant, by means of a small river which intersects the place; but their commerce is very limited, and chiefly consists in grain which they export to Cete and Marseilles. No marks of Roman magnificence remain, except several inscriptions in different parts of the city. It is divided into the city and the town, which are joined together by a bridge, with houses on each side, in which the richest merchants live. There are several churches and convents; the metropolitan church has a handsome steeple.
