Postcards from Mediaeval Périgueux

When we finally got to visit Périgueux without having to solve logistical problems, we loved it! It’s full of tiny streets and historical buildings from Renaissance times. There are also lots of shady squares to relax in and a surprising number of small speciality shops. And to end our holiday in style, we had an absolutely delicious lunch at L’Essentiel, which has a Michelin star.

Lorsque nous avons enfin pu visiter Périgueux sans se soucier de problèmes logistiques, nous l’avons adoré ! La ville est pleine de petites rues et de maisons historiques datant de la Renaissance. Il y a également plein de places ombragées où se détendre et un nombre surprenant de petites boutiques spécialisées. Et pour bien terminer les vacances nous avons déjeuné à l’Essentiel, un restaurant étoilé.

Not bombed. That always helped. I Ve never seen the oval shutters before. Also Périgueux is prosperous unlike Cahors which was depressing as soon as you got outside the main area.
