Saint-Pierre-de-Côle (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ pjɛʁ də kol], literally Saint-Pierre of Côle; Limousin: Sent Peir de Còla) is a commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.
Geography[edit]
The river Côle flows southwestward through the middle of the commune, crosses the village and forms part of the commune's south-western border. The village straddles the D 78 road from Brantôme to Saint-Jean-de-Côle. At the centre of the village is the village square with an ancient Romanesque church which has been heavily restored and the cafe/restaurant 'La Marmite'. There is also a post office and a bakery in the village.
The village festival takes place on the first weekend in August, and there are fireworks on the river.
