A Little Gem on the Banks of the River Dordogne

Belle Rivière - 4 **** century old 2 bedroom house of character on the banks of the river Dordogne with breathtaking river views. Featuring all modern amenities but retaining its original character with a lovely internal courtyard and a river view terrace area, Belle Rivière is your holiday home away from home. With its proximity to all amenities, chateaux scattered all around, beautiful idyllic towns and villages, and morning/night markets, Belle Rivière offers the charm of French living.

On the second floor, for those who cannot get away from their work, one finds an office working space where hopefully it will not be used that often!!!

A Gem on the Dordogne

After reading the guest book at Belle Rivière, getting ready to write my own entry, I thought to myself, “Wow, it’s all been said, and it’s all so true!” Belle Rivière is a great rental property - a perfect blend of a traditional French home and modern amenities in both kitchen and bath, two outdoor spaces, really comfortable beds, beautiful view of the Dordogne River and the town of Ste. Foy la Grande. Belle Rivière is in a great location - walking distance to a fabulous boulangerie, a supermarket, restaurants (great ones) and an impressive Saturday market…plus driving distance to many charming villages, vineyards, chateaux, and antiquities…plus outdoor activities including a riverside walking path (upstream and downstream) right at the doorstep. The owners, Sylvia and Raymond are outstanding hosts - they welcome you, answer any and all questions, offer advice and suggestions, and respond ever so quickly to any inquiry. They are gracious and thoughtful people who take excellent care of their house and their guests. Our two week stay at Belle Rivière was parfait! We have vacationed in France for years, and we always stay in a rental property, and this one is truly outstanding.
