A compact French-language guide to Périgueux, the historic capital of the Périgord in southwestern France. The work presents the city through its urban heritage, public spaces, and major landmarks, offering readers a practical way to understand its development and cultural setting. With its modest page count and regional publisher, it appears suited to visitors and local readers seeking orientation rather than an exhaustive scholarly study. The book frames Périgueux as a city shaped by its long past and its continuing role as a center of the Dordogne. Readers are invited to move between the city's documented history and its visible streetscape, using the guide as a concise introduction to one of the region's most important towns.
