Well done Phil for persisting and finding somewhere.  Narbonne is a nice small city, with some huge shopping malls on the outskirts. Parking is easy enough and free at certain times.  The cathedral and the roman remains are worth a visit, and Les Halles (the covered market) is fantastic!  You're almost guaranteed to buy something!  La Nautique is not in Narbonne itself, but by the Etang de Bages, a few kilometres away. I'm not sure whether the site has it's own beach but there are plenty of beaches  nearby. 

Somewhere in previous posts a contributor to this forum posted a picture of his pitch and here are other mentions of La Nautique here. 

Visit Gruissan (the old town) on market day - it's lovely.   There's a castle and the church at the bottom of the steps is spectacular.  The Etang (lagoon) atPeyriac sur Mer has boardwalks actually over and across the water, and it makes a lovely stroll on a not too hot afternoon.  You may see flamingos in the Etang.  Near La Nautique is the Canal des Anglais, and they are refitting on of the last canal bargues (with sails) to sail on the Canal du Midi.  Another lovely walk is up through the woods,at Notre Dame des Auzils, (nearby) where there is a church commemorating all the Fisherman from Gruissan who were lost at sea around the world.  It's very peaceful and beautiful - and the church is full of paintings and memorabilia.   The wine from the 'Mountains of the Clape' is very nice too, and can be bought from various wine caves around. 

It can be very windy around there, so take your storm straps!
