Hôtel de Ville

Périgueux's town hall, in a 17th-century mansion

The city's town hall occupies the Hôtel de Lagrange-Chancel, a 17th-century mansion absorbed into the municipal block in the 19th century. The carved doorway and inner courtyard are the parts to look for — visitors can pass into the courtyard during working hours. The façade gives onto the place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, a useful orientation point at the top of the old town.
