Description

Good to Know

Leaving Lyon you will cross the Dombes 1000 ponds to reach Pérouges. The medieval village stands on top of a rocky promontory in the heart of the Ain plain. This ancient, fortified city is now ranked among the most beautiful villages in France. You will be totally immersed in another time! Indeed, the rich architectural heritage of the village is exceptionally well preserved, allowing today to go back into the medieval atmosphere: old shops, cobbled streets, round road and fortified church.... the perfect setting for many film shoots! Without forgetting of course, the very famous Hostellerie du Vieux Pérouges in which you will have the pleasure of tasting the famous sugar cake, a great gourmet specialty of the village!

Well done!

Clotilde was engaging and informative. She showed us the pond country on the way, and had interesting stories about the assaults on the city walls. Its church has a unique history.

A fun trip out of the city. Our guide was fun, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We just recommend you wear flat and comfortable shoes because the streets are uneven.

Great family-friendly, learning day!

We toured with Marc, who took us around Pérouges, gave us the history, and taught us more about the French culture. Parent and teenager approved!

Great Day

Grace was a great guide. Very knowledgable and fun. Also a very good driver. The history and tour of the town was just the right amount and the galette delicious. We enjoyed having some time on our own to explore as well and never felt rushed. Perouges is beautiful little village and off the beaten track of many of the larger tours. We highly recommend.
