Périgueux Cathedral is a Catholic church located in the city of Périgueux, France. A cathedral since 1669, it is dedicated to Saint Front [fr] (French: Cathédrale Saint-Front de Périgueux). The cathedral's predecessor, still in operation as a church, is dedicated to Saint Stephen (French: Cathédrale Saint-Étienne-de-la-Cité de Périgueux).

The buildings are located in the centre of Périgueux and Saint Front Cathedral has been classed as a French Historical Monument (monument historique) since 1840. The Saint Front Cathedral was rebuilt by architect Paul Abadie from 1852 to 1895. Only the bell tower and the crypts, both from the 12th century, were left from the previous structures.
The cathedral is part of the World Heritage Sites of the Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France since 1998.
De kathedraal van Périgueux is een katholieke kerk in de stad Périgueux, Frankrijk. Een kathedraal sinds 1669, het is gewijd aan Saint Front [ fr ] ( Frans : Cathédrale Saint-Front de Périgueux ). De voorganger van de kathedraal, nog steeds in gebruik als kerk, is gewijd aan Sint Stefanus (Frans: Cathédrale Saint-Étienne-de-la-Cité de Périgueux).
In de 4e en 5e eeuw werd er voor het eerst een kerk gebouwd.
In 976 liet bisschop Frotaire op de plaats van de kerk de abdij van Saint-Front bouwen. De abdij werd ingewijd in 1047. Het gewelfde koor herbergde het graf van Saint Front, dat in 1077 werd gebeeldhouwd door Guimaunond, een monnik van de abdij van Chaise-Dieu. Deze tombe was versierd met talrijke edelstenen en beeldhouwwerken, met name een engel met een aureool van stukjes glas, en wordt nu bewaard in het Périgord Museum.
De kathedraal dankt zijn naam aan Saint Front, de eerste bisschop van Périgueux. De kathedraal, in beide gebouwen, was en is de zetel van de bisschop van Périgueux en Sarlat, zoals het bisdom sinds 1854 bekend staat.

Périgueux, met zijn indrukwekkende kathedraal Saint-Front, heeft een lange geschiedenis. Op de heuvels ten zuiden van de Isle lag hier al in 1e eeuw v.Chr. de Gallische plaats Vésone, een versterkte stad met duizenden bewoners van de stam der Petrocorii. Eenmaal veroverd door Caesar, werd het de Gallo-Romeinse stad Vesunna, die een grote bloeitijd kende in de 1e-2e eeuw en 15.000 à 20.000 inwoners telde. Zo ontstond de eerste kern van Périgueux.
Périgueux, with its impressive Saint-Front cathedral, has a long history. On the hills south of the Isle there was already a site here in the 1st century BC. the Gallic place of Vésone, a fortified city with thousands of inhabitants of the tribe of the Petrocorii. Once conquered by Caesar, it became the Gallo-Roman city of Vesunna, which flourished in the 1st-2nd century and numbered 15,000 to 20,000 inhabitants. This is how the first core of Périgueux was created.
Périgueux, Cathedrale St. Front:
Das nördliche Seitenportal der Kathedrale St. Front in Périgueux/Frankreich führt in die aus dem 11. Jh. erhaltenen Teile des Vorgängerbaues: zwei Joche, die von auf hohen Tambouren ruhenden Kuppeln überdeckt werden, dienen als Basis des Glockenturms.
They are the ruins of the Barriere castle built in the 12th century and of which I do not know more history nor have I looked for it.
From Bordeaux where I had my accommodation, one of the excursions went to Perigueux but between getting up late and returning early, I had no choice but to take the small tourist train to see the entire city.
As you can understand, this train does not have shock absorbers, so the photographic subject is very difficult due to jumps, brakes, turns, etc. When you think you have the image focused, the driver starts and you eat the camera or you are sitting two rows back.
If I made 50 photos, only 4 or 5 are usable. The rest, or are crooked, out of focus or moved.
I have the photo edited in color. Quite decent for the case, but I preferred to do a trial and try this edition in monochrome and semi-drawn. I do not pretend to achieve a great acceptance, it is simply that I like it and sometimes I think that this should be enough.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Son las ruinas del castillo de Barriere construido en el siglo XII y del cual no sé mas historia ni la he buscado.
Desde Burdeos donde tenía mi alojamiento, una de las excursiones fue a Perigueux pero entre que me levanto tarde y vuelvo temprano, no tuve más remedio que tomar el pequeño tren turístico para ver la ciudad entera.
Como puedes entender, este tren no lleva amortiguadores, por lo que el tema fotográfico resulta dificilísimo debido a los saltos, frenazos, giros etc. Cuando te parece que tienes la imagen enfocada, el conductor arranca y te comes la cámara o te encuentras sentado dos filas más atrás.
Si hice 50 fotos, solo 4 0 5 son aprovechables. El resto, o están torcidas, desenfocadas o movidas.
Tengo la foto editada en color. Bastante digna para el caso, pero he preferido hacer una ensayo y probar con esta edición en monocromo y semidibujada. No pretendo lograr una gran aceptación, simplemente es que a mí me gusta y a veces pienso que con esto debería bastar.

Welcome to the strictly pedestrian streets of Périgueux, gems of the "old town" tourist circuit. A word of advice? Save yourself while you still can… before falling under the spell of the cobblestones !
Bienvenue dans les ruelles strictement piétonnes de Périgueux, joyaux du circuit touristique de la "vieille ville". Un conseil ? Sauvez votre peau tant qu’il est encore temps… avant de succomber au charme des pavés !
Perigueux. River L' Isle
The Isle (Occitan: Eila) is a 255-kilometre (158 mi) long river in south-western France, right tributary of the Dordogne. Its source is in the north-western Massif Central, near the town Nexon (south of Limoges). It flows south-west through the following départements and towns:
Haute-Vienne: Le Chalard
Dordogne: Périgueux, Mussidan
Gironde: Libourne
It flows into the Dordogne in Libourne. Among the tributaries of the Isle are the Auvézère, the Loue, the Beauronne and the Dronne.
️ Pont des Barris in Périgueux: A Story of Urban Transition
Built between 1860 and 1861, this bridge replaced the former medieval Tournepiche Bridge, also known as the “crooked bridge,” which connected the historic heart of Périgueux to the Barris district on the left bank. The old bridge, dating from the 12th to 14th centuries, was fortified and adorned with towers—witness to a defensive, enclosed city. It was demolished in December 1860 to allow for the modernization of the crossing.
The new bridge, named Pont des Barris, was built in a functional Second Empire style by the Coquelet brothers, local contractors. It reflects the desire to rationalize traffic flow and open up the urban landscape, replacing the curvature and congestion of the medieval structure with a straight and open line.
Reading the Image: A Stone Bridge Between Structure and Ornament
In the photograph, we clearly see the three semicircular arches that form the core of the bridge. The massive piers, equipped with rounded cutwaters, help resist the currents of the Isle river, seen here as a dark, reflective surface.
The modern metal railings respect the original structure but were likely rebuilt or adapted during the 1963 widening, designed to meet modern traffic needs.
Antique-style lamp posts, adorned with hanging flower baskets, give the bridge a touch of elegance—between municipal memory and floral embellishment. This type of decoration is typical of towns seeking to enhance their heritage and charm for visitors.
Urban Context and Memorial Significance
In the background, the stone corner house marks an old crossroads. It faces the road leading to the center of Périgueux, where the spire of Saint-Front Cathedral can be glimpsed in the distance. Everything here evokes passage—a link between two riverbanks, between a former working-class suburb and the monumental city center.
The memorial field of the Pont des Barris is twofold:
It bears the mark of the Second Empire, a time of urban modernization, with the development of embankments, roads, and civic infrastructure.
It erases a medieval fortified bridge, a witness to a closed city shaped by defense, tolls, religious processions, and separation between districts.
Thus, the bridge stands as a symbolic transition in the city’s history—from a defensive, fragmented space to an open, connected, and modern urban form.
