History

The arrondissement of Narbonne was created in 1800.[5] At the January 2017 reorganization of the arrondissements of Aude, it gained 27 communes from the arrondissement of Carcassonne.[6]

  1. Coursan
  2. Durban-Corbières
  3. Ginestas
  4. Lézignan-Corbières
  5. Narbonne-Est
  6. Narbonne-Ouest
  7. Narbonne-Sud
