Périgueux is the capital of the Dordogne, situated in the sunny south west, it is
a great place to base yourself for holiday in one of the most beautiful regions of
France.
Now a bustling regional city, Perigueux with a charming old quarter of narrow
streets and sunny squares, excluding the suburbs, has a population of approaching
40,000 and so while it is the centre of things in the Dordogne, it remains a very
livable size.
Lying in the suburbs is Coulounieix Chamiers, 2.5 km from the centre
of Perigueux, about 5 mins by car or 20 minutes by bus.
Périgueux itself is the result of a merger of two burghs in 1240, a bourgeois town
called Puy Saint Front and the bishops city situated but a few hundred meters from
each other. The new entity, Périgueux, was named after the ancient Gaulish tribe
that lived in the locality.
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 many pavement
cafés and restaurants in the numerous squares. There are little boutiques too, alongside
all the butchers, bakers, wine merchants, ice-
The Roman settlement, a little to the west of the original Gallic settlement was
an important centre. Baths, an aqueduct, a 20,000 seat amphitheatre and a large temple
were constructed. The ruined remains of the Roman amphitheatre are now a pretty public
park -
Périgueux has 39 classified historical sites and its two main museums are the traditional 'Musée de Perigord' and the modern 'Musée de Vésunna'.
The History of Coulounieix-
The site of Curade brings us to the Gallic period: here, a vast city covering 35 hectares was established, one century before the birth of Christ.
The city was protected by an imposing earth rampart 1 km long. In the loop of the river the Romans built a rural retreat with two thermal baths (1st century AD), the many remains of which may well explain the origins of name of the commune, Coulounieix (Columns).
