     We're going down through France in May, though not planning on including Spain. We've not been to that region before, but intend to look around some of Dordogne/Lot/further into that southern border area, Aude, etc, depending partly on what the weather's doing. So Perigueux (just how many ueueueue's can you get into one placename?!) has been one sort of navigational gateway reference point for the area, without any specific plans until we get there.

    Is it truly an "avoid" sort of place, then? Is this due to maze-like qualities, or narrow streets, or heavy traffic, or what?

    Just no N. to S. by pass - you drive  (well, we drive) through the middle of the city.

    And is that a pain, or reasonably picturesque, or ...  ?

    With a caravan on the back you'll be so busy looking at the one-way system, the traffic lights, the junctions, the barriers, the bollards, the cyclists, the old people, and the arrows, and you won't notice if you're passing the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and the Sidney Harbour Bridge!  You'll just be glad you got through it!

     I think that's exactly why we tend to use the toll roads when towing (although never when not).
