Medieval city of Pérouges

La Lanterne

P&eacute;rouges
This town is known as one of the most beautiful towns in France, with a strong European medieval style. We decided to drive south to experience this place full of historical charm.

🚗 From Lyon, it takes about 40 minutes to drive, or about 30 minutes by TER train (timetable attached).

Parking fee is 2 euros per day, which is very affordable. The tourist center provides tour guides, which cost 0.2 euros each. Museum tickets are 5 euros per person.

The flowers on the roadside are so beautiful. It is recommended to bring a camera. Every shot is a blockbuster! Remember to wear thick-soled shoes, because the roads in the town are mainly gravel roads, which may be a bit painful to walk.

There are several restaurants in the town, but because only terraces can be opened, there are many people queuing. You must try P&eacute;rouges&#39;s specialty food-galettes de p&eacute;rouges, which are delicious in any restaurant. We found a random one, 1.5 euros per slice, and the whole pizza-sized pie was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which is amazing! But it&#39;s a bit sweet, it is recommended to pair it with a cup of coffee.

The town can be visited in about 45 minutes. You can bring a picnic mat and food. There are many places suitable for picnics. Perouges is not only beautiful, but also special. It is said that it was built when the Italians settled here, so the souvenir shop is also full of symbolic weapons and armor. #find a terrace restaurant #picnic #cityhumanitieshandbook #worthgoingancienttownsandvillages #capturecityhumanities
