Narbonne is the center of the local wine trade, serving the wine areas of Corbieres, Minervois, St. Chinian, Fitou and others, there are many nearby wine producing villages including Moussan. It is split into two parts by the Canal de la Robine and now-a-days Narbonne quietly prospers from tourism, wine and as a centre for communications.
