Shopping in Périgueux

We awoke to a cloudy day and had a late start for Périgueux, the capital city of the Perigord.  It's not a typical must-see on the itinerary, but we wanted to go to a big town and do some shopping.  Périgueux seemed about the size of Avignon, with a combination of the medieval picturesque and the modern commercial.  We had a light lunch at a salon de thé where I saw my new favorite sign shown above.

Oddly enough the street cafes of Périgueux were nowhere near as cute as in Avignon or Aix as we wandered around looking for a place to have a snack later in the day.  I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to have my ice-cream today!
