St Alvère in the Périgord :
the first truffle market
in France to have gone
on-line !



The village is well situated in relation to Bergerac, St Foy La Grande and Marmande and benefits from their services only a few kilometres away (hospitals, clinics, schools, shopping centres etc.)

The last census revealed a population of 1011 (official population on January 1, 2012).


Sigoulès town centre has all the shops and services necessary for day to day living.

Sigoulès’ health professionals include doctors, nurses, a dentist, a physiotherapist and a chemist.

A Infant School and primary school
including 7 classes, vocational secondary school and an adult training centre provide a local education service.

An out-of-school hours nursery and a multi-activity leisure centre
accepts children from 3 to 14.

The completely refurbished municipal library has over 400 readers.
An activity, "Baby Readers" is offered every Thursday morning.
Several exhibitions are open throughout the year.

Clubs and sports and cultural associations
have developed and offer many activities: gymnastics, soccer, tennis, judo, yoga, qi gong, theatre, chess, model airplanes.


A mini day care centre,
run by an association, has opened its doors.
Located in the heart of the village, it can accommodate nine children from 2 months to 4 ½ years old.


Economy

Technologically- advanced businesses are setting up in ever greater numbers in the Economic Activity Zone and the
Business service Centre is already full.

The Economic Activities Zone, Roc de Peyre,
is located close to the route RD 933 in a quiet and remarkable environment.
The first companies moved in during the years 1988-89.

Craftspeople use the services of "Chorum", which provides secretarial services.


Reception and Accommodation

For several years, Sigoulès has been making a list of the numerous requests for housing. Our wine region is very popular and welcomes new residents from all parts of France each year.
People from Bergerac also are increasingly willing to move to the countryside, a few miles from their work.

The municipality has made a concerted effort to improve the housing situation in the village itself with several development programmes of commune-owned buildings and by working in partnership with the Bergerac Council Housing Programme.
The creation of a public housing development of 20 homes and a municipal subdivision, "fon de la May", with 13 houses, has allowed many families to move in.

Building lots are in high demand in the town, and the number of building permits has increased steadily.
