The streets in and around the town are well maintained, but they are more narrow than many would expect. A smaller, more compact model is a better choice and makes navigating the streets and finding parking a little easier. If you're travelling with a larger group or you can't get a small model, aim for an SUV that's thinner than others. If you can get away with a standard sedan, that should be easy enough to navigate the streets with.

The speed limit in Perigueux is the same as in the rest of France, so you'll need to be aware of them regardless of where you drive. If you're travelling between cities on a major motorway or highway, the limit should be 130 km/h. Dual carriageways are capped at 110 km/h. The main countryside roads and urban roads have a speed limit of 90 km/h in most areas and 80 km/h in others; you'll need to look out for the signs. When you're inside the town, you can't exceed 50 km/h. Other parts of the town may have a limit of 30 km/h.

If you're in the town centre and parking on the street by parking meters, you can generally park for free for the first 3 hours and then be charged in 15min increments from then on. There are free car parks near Place Mauvard and along the quays. There are paid car parks near the cathedral and underground car parks around the city. The paid car parks and underground parking will issue a ticket when you arrive and you'll have to pay the ticket before heading back to your car.
