Hôtel-Restaurant Côté Rivage in Badefols-sur-Dordogne.

Perched above the Dordogne River in the medieval village of Badefols-sur-Dordogne, Hôtel-Restaurant Côté Rivage commands sweeping views of the limestone cliffs and water below.

The property sits at the heart of France's most celebrated wine and gastronomic region, where rolling vineyards meet ancient stone architecture.

This riverside hotel and restaurant serves as both venue and accommodation, allowing guests to celebrate and stay within steps of the ceremony space.

In a piece full location overlooking the river. Terrace is shaded with a nice view. Food is classic French style and exceptional. This would be a lovely hotel to stay for a few days and enjoy the food and wine. We had lunch which was really enjoyable. Hotel is impeccably maintained and clean. Toilets were exceptionally clean and well maintained.
