Périgueux Les Quais Maison des Consuls Dordogne France Postcard 1929

Périgueux, Dordogne, France1929Pre-linenGood

Sepia view along the quays of Périgueux, capital of the Dordogne in the Périgord region of southwest France — the Maison des Consuls, a handsome Renaissance townhouse, rising at the curve of the street, a lone woman standing in the foreground and tree-lined Boulevard Montaigne receding in the distance. Périgueux is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in France, settled since Gallo-Roman times, and its quays along the Isle River were the commercial heart of the medieval and Renaissance town. A sender named Pierre mailed this from Périgueux to a contact in Vienna, Austria in July 1929, the card stamped as "imprimé" — printed matter — a small economy of postage on an ordinary summer day in the Dordogne.
