English for Allées de Tourny) are located in the city center of Périgueux, in the French department of Dordogne.

[1] In 1909, the monument to the dead of the Dordogne Mobiles was built in its eastern section, which was renamed "esplanade du Souvenir" in 1997.

[G 1] The Monument aux morts des mobiles de la Dordogne was erected in 1909,[G 1] in the eastern part of the allées, and since 1997 has been known as the esplanade du Souvenir.

[7] In 2020, work was undertaken to turn the Tourny avenues into an interchange station to the north (serving six bus routes) and to make the Cours Tourny safer to the south, with the creation of a forecourt in front of the Museum of Art and Archeology of Périgord, two raised crosswalks and a central pedestrian island facing Rue Limogeanne.

Since 21 September 1950, the Tourny avenues have been classified as a site of picturesque interest, to protect the surrounding tree lines and historic monuments.

[9] Since 1971, three-quarters of the central median on the west side have been used as a parking lot, making it impossible to hold the annual Foire de Périgueux, which moved to the Toulon district a few years later, and then to the Marsac-sur-l'Isle exhibition center.

[G 1] On 20 and 21 September 2014, on the occasion of the European Heritage Days in Périgueux, several tours of the Tourny avenues were held, in this place that "completely changed the city's landscape" according to Martine Balout, the local manager of the French Towns and Lands of Art and History.

At the end of September 2015, the Tourny avenues and Cours Montaigne welcomed 30,000 visitors over three days, according to the town hall, for Péri'Meuh, an "urban agricultural festival".

[25] In 2021, this event was not incorporated into the Festival du livre gourmand, much to the disappointment of representatives of the agricultural world, notably the Fédération départementale des syndicats d'exploitants agricoles (FDSEA).

Having registered the title "Péri'Meuh", the FDSEA contacted the Sarlat-la-Canéda municipal team, which was then expected to organize the event in September 2022.
