Cell towers in Perigueux (Dordogne)

Declared supports include 1 church or religious building, with buildings making up most of the remainder.

Masts stand at 2 Boulevard Lakanal, 2 Bis Cours Saint Georges, 33 rue du Président Wilson, rue du 4 Septembre, 7 rue Albert Pestour and rue des Izards.

2 masts belong to the commune itself and 1 to Totem; the rest sit mainly on private buildings.

Systems from 2001 are still on the register. Local 5G started with Free Mobile in April 2021; SFR followed in August 2021, Bouygues Telecom followed in September 2021. 2022 was the busiest year, with 29 new systems, most of them 5G.

Approved additions not yet in service are pending on 2 existing masts, for example Bouygues Telecom (5G 3.5 GHz) at 7 rue Albert Pestour, Bouygues Telecom (3G, 4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 2 Rue Gambetta and SFR (3G, 4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 2 Rue Gambetta. 8 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Orange on 7 of its 8 masts, SFR on 4 of its 5 masts, Bouygues Telecom on 3 of its 5 masts and Free Mobile on 3 of its 5 masts. 5G is on 100% of masts here, against 80% across Dordogne towns with five or more masts.

Most antennas sit on rooftops (11 of 14), so heights stay modest; the tallest support is 46 m at Place Saint Georges.

Only one mast carries all four networks; 5 supports carry only Orange.

Among the 9 Dordogne towns with at least five masts, Perigueux ranks 2nd by mast count. With 14 masts for 29,055 residents, or 5 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (15).

7.8 km to the east, neighbouring Bassillac has less 5G (73%).

At 10 km² with 29,055 residents, the commune is dense enough that most antennas sit on rooftops rather than pylons. It is part of the CA Le Grand Périgueux intercommunal grouping.

Figures above cover installations declared to ANFR as in service or technically operational, as of October 2026; approved projects are not counted.
