01 · In a sentence

Hôtel Le Moulin de la Beune - Restaurant Au Vieux Moulin in Les Eyzies.

Perched along the Beune River in the Dordogne valley, this restored 18th-century mill commands views of limestone cliffs and forested slopes that rise dramatically from the water below.

The property's stone architecture and riverside setting create a natural amphitheater for ceremonies, while the on-site restaurant accommodates receptions in intimate dining spaces overlooking the valley.

Located in Les Eyzies, the prehistoric capital of France, the venue sits within walking distance of cave sites dating back 17,000 years.

Quaint hotel in a beautiful garden setting. Restaurant unfortunately wasn't open but pizza place 5 minutes walk away was fantastic. And the nearby patisserie was also great. This location is also in the middle of a region where there are many places to explore within a 2 hour drive. We went to the subterranean river experience which was outstanding too. Just beware there are lots of stairs even if you use the elevators.
