Périgueux

Périgueux is a cyclist's hub in the Dordogne valley, with rolling limestone hills and deep river gorges drawing gravel and road riders across the region. The 24 heures VTT Périgord endurance race at nearby Paussac-et-Saint-Vivien showcases the local mountain bike terrain, while the MBP Cubjac Tour (26km) offers a sharper road test through rural Périgord. Running here is quieter—the town sits on flat ground near the Isle river, though trail runners head south into the forested Périgord plateau for elevation and the occasional cani-cross event like the Cani Ninja.
