Capital of the Dordogne region, Périgueux is a bustling city with a young vibe. There’s a ton to do, to see and to experience and I spent 4 days here to take most of it in. The Gallo-Roman remains are extraordinary, within the city centre. A park was built around some of them, so you can walk through archways and get up close and personal with the vestiges. The Vesunna Gallo-Roman Museum is quite a treat, with the building created on top of and around the actual remnants from the 1st-4th century. The Trompe d’Oeil Museum is also a delight, featuring artists creating the “trick of the eye” paintings that amaze. This region is chock full of really interesting history, so make sure to explore the surrounding areas too.
