Rising in the heart of Périgueux, the Tour de Vésone offers a captivating glimpse into the region's Gallo-Roman past. Dating back to the 2nd century, this imposing structure is believed to have formed the cella of a grand temple dedicated to the goddess Vesunna. Today, its cylindrical form and lofty height bear witness to ancient architectural prowess. Just a short stroll away, the Vesunna Gallo-Roman Museum showcases excavation sites and artifacts that unravel the mysteries of the once-thriving Roman city. The tower is surrounded by verdant lawns perfect for a tranquil picnic, and it’s only a stone’s throw from Périgueux’s charming old quarter, making it easy to explore multiple historical gems in one outing.
