Ville de Périgueux

What Ville de Périgueux does

Ville de Périgueux is a French municipal government (commune) and public administrative entity headquartered at the Hôtel de Ville, 23 rue du Président-Wilson in Périgueux, Dordogne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine. It serves as the local governing authority for a population of 31,642 residents (January 2021) across 982 hectares, employing 152 municipal staff under Mayor Michel Cadet and a 35-member municipal council. The entity delivers core public administration services (civil registry, urban planning, public procurement, schooling) alongside social services through the CCAS (Centre Communal d'Action Sociale), cultural programming (Vesunna Gallo-Roman museum, MAAP art and archaeology museum, Centre culturel La Visitation, Médiathèque Pierre Fanlac, Sans Réserve), youth services (Centre Info Jeunes, Conseil Local de la Jeunesse), a senior outreach space (L'Ostalet), and a municipal tourism office established in its current form in January 2023.

The underlying technology stack is a standard municipal administrative platform centered on the perigueux.fr website and digital services portal, with no disclosed APIs, SDKs, or proprietary software. Service delivery combines physical touchpoints (city hall, municipal buildings, cultural venues) with digital channels (website, Facebook, RSS, SMS alerts, monthly newsletter, quarterly magazine 'À Périgueux', and a 60-page summer guide). The technology footprint is conventional for a mid-sized French commune and integrates with national platforms such as service-public.fr and ANTS for state documentation. The city holds UNESCO World Heritage status (Cathedral Saint-Front, inscribed 1998) and carries multiple national labels (Ville 4 fleurs, Ville d'art et d'histoire, Ville amie des aînés, Ville active sportive, Ville amie des enfants).

The revenue model is non-commercial: Ville de Périgueux is funded primarily through municipal taxation (property tax at 68.52% on built properties and 105.50% on unbuilt properties), government transfers and grants, and statutory fees on a small subset of administrative services (passports, national ID cards). Service distribution is direct-to-citizen through the Hôtel de Ville, CCAS, cultural facilities, and the tourism office; partner channels include intercommunal cooperation (Grand Périgueux), international twinnings (Amberg, Strasbourg, Rivière-du-Loup), and the burgeoning UNESCO Creative Cities Network candidacy under the gastronomy theme. The entity is publicly owned, governed by democratic election, and is not a private enterprise.
