The hub

Perigueux, a private aviation
gateway for business travel

Périgueux is the prefecture of the Dordogne département in Southwest France, a region defined less by corporate density and more by ultra-high-net-worth leisure demand. The city's draw for private aviation centers on proximity to the Périgord Noir truffle circuit, the Vézère Valley UNESCO prehistoric sites including Lascaux, and a château belt stretching from Beynac to Castelnaud. Private clients typically arrive for multi-day estate stays, gastronomic itineraries built around seasonal markets, or wine harvest access to Bergerac and Bordeaux appellations.

Périgueux-Bassillac Airport (LFBX/PGX) functions as a dedicated general aviation field, handling approximately 17,900 movements annually with no commercial airline operations. This absence of airline traffic translates directly into operational simplicity: no queue for ground handling, immediate ramp access, and flexible departure windows. The airport operates on daylight hours with extensions available by prior arrangement, which suits most leisure-profile missions. Customs clearance is available by prior arrangement, making international arrivals from the UK or Switzerland straightforward with adequate notice.

The airport sits approximately 8 km east of Périgueux city center, translating to a 12–15 minute road transfer. Sarlat-la-Canéda is reachable in 45 minutes via the D710, Bergerac in roughly one hour, and Bordeaux in 90 minutes via the A89 autoroute. For clients whose primary destination is Bordeaux itself, Bordeaux-Mérignac may serve as an alternative entry point, but Bassillac retains a clear advantage for itineraries centered on northern and central Dordogne.
