It is 6:05 p.m. this Wednesday, May 22 in Périgueux and the Olympic flame relay sets off from the military school for the last Périgord stage of the day. Previously, this relay crossed Saint-Aulaye-Puymangou, Sarlat-la-Canéda, Nontron, Montignac, Agonac.

This passing of the flame is accompanied by an advertising caravan worthy of the Tour de France. Goodies are distributed to passers-by before the procession. A procession protected by an impressive security system.

Several athletes and personalities followed one another throughout the city to the Allée Tourny parking lots, the place where the cauldron was lit.
