In Périgueux, the richtungsschilder or direction signs are essential elements to guide visitors through the city and its surroundings. They are placed at strategic points to indicate directions to the main tourist, historical, and practical places in the city.
The signs indicate the kilometers in distance between Périgueux and international and French cities, and even the world, since we find Rio de Janeiro for example. They are of different colors, blue, salmon, gray, green and yellow.
But let's not forget the other signs in the city.
