The Cité District is a charming area of Périgueux that showcases the city's 19th-century urban planning, with wide, tree-lined boulevards and stately buildings. It also preserves remnants of its ancient Roman past, including the remains of the Roman amphitheater and the Temple of Vesunna. Visitors can stroll along the boulevards, admire the architecture, and explore the archaeological sites that give the district a unique historical character. The area is less crowded than the historic center, offering a more relaxed experience with local cafes and shops.
