Perigueux is the ancient capital of Perigord in the Dordogne. It resides on the banks of the River Isle in the old Perigord region of Perigord Blanc, and offers a wealth of spectacular architecture that takes in Roman ruins and amazing Romanesque churches. The international airport located to the east of the town provides tourists and those looking for French property in the area with convenient access. Flight time from most European cities is under 3 hours.
Discovery of Perigueux really starts in the old quarters of the town. Here you can find the remains of a 1st century Roman amphitheatre as well as beautiful restored medieval Perigueux property. There is also a restored renaissance area of the town, where renaissance property is now used as shops and exclusive apartments.
Perigueux property is a mixture of architectural styles. Modern prestige French property is available in the town alongside character properties from almost every era since medieval times. It is worth noting that there is not a great selection of hotels and guesthouses in the town. This could make Perigueux an attractive location for buy-to-let property investors. Property prices in Perigueux are quite reasonable too. A 4-bed villa in France on the outskirts of Perigueux with a large garden can be acquired for around 220,000 euros.
