The house 4 Place de la Clautre in Périgueux is a Louis XV-style building built in the 18th century.

Its striking features include a corbelled turret at the corner of Calvary Street, covered with Brive slates arranged in fish scales, as well as a Mansart roof with finely carved skylights. The facade on the Place de la Clautre has a curved part above a balcony, while the overflowing roof protects this architectural element.
