Places to See: The village of Perouges is a great place to explore the history and architecture of the Middle Ages. The cobbled streets are lined with beautiful 16th-century houses, and the old town hall (maison communale) is a great example of medieval architecture. Other attractions include the Church of Saint-Nicolas, the Town Hall, the Tower of the Clock and the Chapel of Notre-Dame-des-Vignes.
Nearby: Perouges is surrounded by the beautiful Ain countryside, making it a great place to explore nature. There are many hiking trails, as well as horseback riding and cycling routes. Other nearby attractions include the historic town of Bourg-en-Bresse, the Grand Colombier mountain, the Château de Brou and the Château de Culoz.
You will notice in the photos that there are not many people about. I have a habit of arriving at dinner time when the streets are empty. The French like there dinner breaks
