Unusual arrangement having been built around the remains of an earlier building. Nice feel, and look forward to visiting again when the cloisters have been restored. Great view of the river from the terrace - great place to take a little time out.

Outside simply breathtaking architecturally and amazing to be where it is in the style it is. Inside one wonders why the dark wood screen behind the altar has been moved there as they obscure the windows and take away the original look and feel of the building. Work being undertaken to cloisters which will only improve it.

After having seen it from the outside a few times, I was anxious to get inside. It's exterior is unlike any church in SW France. Five domes and a domed bell tower give it a Byzantine look. It looks like it could be in Turkey. Once inside, I was struck by a few disappointing things right away: First, there is almost no interior decoration of any kind. There are some huge but unimpressive chandeliers, a few stained glass windows of interest.. but up so high that they are difficult to appreciate, and an absolutely awesome huge carved wooden alter piece. But not a drop of paint anywhere. The interiors of those five domes are grey. The walls are grey. The pillars are grey. They are stone, but they look like cinder blocks. The whole building was basically replaced in the 2nd half of the 19th century, so there is nothing "ancient", but the site does contain remnants of the previous building(S). If you are a fan of historical architecture you may enjoy it for it's out of the ordinary layout and style. If you are a fan of wood carving you may enjoy the alter piece. If you have ben in many French churches recently and are expecting to be impressed with it's beauty... you may be disappointed.

Spending a month in the Perigord allows one to visit many villages and towns in the area. Perigueux has a great history, and a great Cathedral.We happened to stop in while a full service was going on, on a Sunday afternoon.In the stark interiors, with soaring ceilings and very little decoration, there was a great feeling of design and strength, and we stayed for the entirety of the service...

What a beautiful building steeped in history. Inside the carved wooden feature, costs 50c to light up but well worth it. Details of the renovation that has taken place are very interesting. Just sit and listen to the organist for a while!

You can see this place from everywhere in town. It's a nineteenth century restoration of something medieval and impressive if you like the style of the Sacre Coeur in Paris - same architect. Some nice details though and definitely worth a look in.

Very like Sacre Coeur in style, there was an organ concert just finishing, and the music enhanced the atmosphere beautifully. The Cathedral is one of the points for pilgrims travelling the pilgrim route to St Jacques de Compostelle.

The outside of this Cathedral is stunningly beautiful and a real site to behold, especially from a distance. The inside is much more modest and a little disappointing visually in comparison to its grand exterior. However, l would still recommend a visit if you are in Perigueux and interested in historical monuments.

This cathedral with its five domes is a sight to behold from the outside. To best appreciate it as a whole one should observe from afar (best from the other side of the river). The interior is a minimally decorated space, impressive in magnitude and structure, but not as much in terms of art and furnishings.
