The two top floors of a 19th-century building, each with their own terrace, in a calm district of the city of Périgueux, near the remains of a Gallo-Roman amphitheatre. When the Paris-Orléans train line was extended to Périgueux in 1857, the district that linked the square Place Francheville to the city’s train station never ceased to develop. A cooperative bakery was founded on 28 June 1885 by a food cooperative in Périgueux to help the railway workers and their families buy bread at the lowest possible prices. The large building is made of stone. Cellars lie beneath it. It forms an L shape on a corner where two streets meet. It has a ground floor, a first floor and a second floor in the roof space. A mansard roof, with tiles on its upper section and slate on its lower slope, crowns the building. Many windows close together punctuate the elevations. They are fitted with louvred shutters. On the first floor, each one has a window ledge that protrudes upon corbels. A carriage door leads into a garage, which is also for sale as an option. A south-facing inner court includes a patio and a terrace that are not overlooked. You reach them via the staircase that connects to the former communal areas. This staircase is now entirely private.

A large, undisturbed five-bedroom flat on the first floor of a former post office building in the sought-after Belle Époque district of Périgueux. The district linking the Cours Montaigne to the railway station was created in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Between the existing townhouses, there are apartment blocks and other new constructions providing residents with new services and cultural venues. From 1906 to 1930, the building was used as a post office because of its modern layout, comprising three vast levels of 200 m² each, plus cellars and an Eiffel-style iron roof structure. Six metal posts rising from the central space of the ground floor underpin what was at the time an architectural feat. The rectangular stone building is topped by a hip roof with interlocking tiles. The northern, neo-classical facade facing the street features large, small-paned French windows opening onto small balconies protected by wrought-iron railings. The dressed stone window surrounds and cornice are embellished with decorative colonnades, diamond-carved motifs and geometric shapes. At either end of the building, there is a monumental entrance door. The first, topped by a carved fire pot, leads via a staircase to two floors and provides access to a secure parking courtyard at the rear. A staircase behind the second entrance door leads to the cellars.
