Thursday Doors: Perigueux
We recently spent a couple of days in the town of Perigueux, the main administrative centre of the Dordogne département, which is also blessed with a well-preserved medieval centre – with many doors. Not quite on the scale of Cahors, but enough to provide images for a few weeks of these posts.

I love the first door and the last door equally. I think blue doors are growing on me.

Incredible doors. The second one is my favorite!
A really fine collection of characterful doors there. Is that a little blue hand door knocker on the last door?
Well spotted. Yes it is. You see them quite often, although I prefer the ball-and-claw model.
