On the heights of Saint-Pons, when you see the old cathedral, you expect a dive into the glorious history of this bishopric which once shone over the region. You go down to the square, contemplate the east facade; notwithstanding the beauty of the stones, doubt sets in. Trust your instincts, turn on your heels, you've seen it all. If, however, you take the (bad!) idea of pushing the door open, you will discover a kind of unsanitary, dusty storage room, which one can well wonder when it was able to house, for the last time, a mass. The scaffolding (the work began in the last century, no doubt), the damaged marble, the cracks and the mould... One wonders who is to blame, a diocese in full decay or decades (centuries!) of socialist municipal administration?

Google Translate: I am moving to Narbonne in 2024 and I would like to play the organ. I studied with Madame Marie-Claire Alain and I have a special place in my heart for the music of the French classical period. Who do I contact once my wife and I have moved? We will be in Narbonne around mid-October to sign the documents for the property we are going to buy. Maybe something could be worked out then too. Thank you for your time.
