This unique and unusual site will plunge you into the daily life of the maquis and the history of its resistance fighters hidden in the heart of the department's thick forests.

A reconstruction, based on historical accounts, of one of the most emblematic maquis in Périgord, a veritable ‘town in the woods’. The huts are made of strips of wood and include a dormitory, kitchen, ammunition bunker and even a prison, all of which are as striking as the real thing.

Climb to the roofs of the cathedral and experience a unique moment with the historic centre of Périgueux at your feet. As you stroll between the bell towers and domes, you'll get a new perspective on the Romanesque-Byzantine architecture of this monument.

    Take a privileged and intimate tour of the roofs of Saint-Front cathedral. A spectacular and unique viewpoint!
    Discover the major periods in the construction and restoration of the famous Saint-Front cathedral with a guide approved by the Ministry of Culture from the Greater Périgueux Intercommunal Tourist Office.
    Rise above Périgueux to admire its picture-postcard landscape, surrounded by bell towers and domes.

Come and discover the town's history in the Middle Ages and its transformation during the Renaissance, with the emergence of Renaissance hotels and houses. The tour will take you through the maze of narrow streets to discover the Périgord heritage, as well as the Saint-Front Cathedral and a Renaissance residence, where you can admire a staircase from the 1540s.

Tours led by tour guides approved by the Ministry of Culture.
