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.
