Périgueux

Capital of Périgord and key stage of the Via Lemovicensis. Its Cathedral of Saint-Front, with Byzantine inspiration and UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a unique vision on the Way.

Discover Périgueux

Perigoux, the capital of historic region of Perigord in Dordogne, is one of the most fascinating stops on the Way of St. James. The city offers pilgrims a journey through two thousand years of history, with a Gallo-Roman city (Vesunna) and a medieval-renacentist city. The main Jacobean landmark is the astonishing Saint-Front Cathedral, declared World Heritage Site. Its architecture, with its domes and Greek cross plan, is directly inspired by St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, making it an uniquely Byzantine-style building on the Camino de Santiago. The remains of ancient Vesunna, with its tower and museum designed by Jean Nouvel, are of great interest. The Renaissance-old town, with its narrow streets and palaces, invites a stroll. Famous for its cuisine (foie gras, truffles), it is a stop for the delight of the senses. With all necessary services, Perigoux is a culturally rich and architecturally surprising stage.
