In Périgueux, the Isle acts as a natural dolly track: gliding upstream, crossing the line of the bridges, revealing the quays and the old centre. These signature shots instantly give a corporate or destination film its local identity. In Périgueux as across the department (24), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.

Prefecture of the Dordogne, Périgueux layers two thousand years of history: the Vesunna tower and the Gallo-Roman domus showcased by Jean Nouvel, the medieval-Renaissance quarter with golden lanes, and above all Saint-Front cathedral — Byzantine domes and turrets, UNESCO-listed under the Way of St James, which inspired Paris's Sacré-Cœur. From the air, Saint-Front's silhouette above the Isle river is one of France's most singular. Périgueux-Bassillac aerodrome (LFBX) to the east is the main aeronautical point of attention. Capital of the white Périgord, the city lives on gastronomy (truffles, foie gras, markets), tourism, printing (France's postage stamps are printed in Boulazac) and services.
