Château Périgord stands on Lacets Saint-Léon, in La Rousse. It was completed in 1968 to designs by Joseph Fissore. It rises 31 levels, about 93 metres, is Modernist in style and holds apartments, offices and shops. The two towers of Château Périgord went up between 1961 and 1973 on a base of shops and offices cut into the slope, with a pool on its roof; the project created a new road, the Lacets Saint-Léon, which winds beneath the buildings from Boulevard d'Italie to Boulevard du Ténao.
