Périgueux Old Quarter

Old Périgueux is a very attractive area. Rue Limogeanne, the narrow cobbled street that winds its way down through this historical quarter is the principal commercial street of the old quarter. The old quarter is largely pedestrianised, with some access for service vehicles.

Many cafés and restaurants make good use of the numerous 'places' (squares) to let clients eat and drink outdoors. Note that this Google map shows the 'roads' going around the small squares, without making it clear that an open space exists...

There are many little boutiques too, alongside all the butchers, bakers, wine merchants, ice-cream shops, bookshops, fish mongers, etc.

It is a lively place hosting regular saturday morning markets of meat, vegetables, fruits and conserves sold by the people who toiled to produce them.
