We will take the road to Dombes, to the north-east of Lyons. Along this landscape itinerary you will enjoy the magnificent views over the plain of the Dombes Lakes and admire the authentic farmhouses of Bresse and their horse and poultry farms.
We will enter Pérouges via the Porte d'en Haut gate and will find ourselves immersed immediately in the Middle Ages. The visit will lead you around the authentic medieval town. Thus, you will discover the history of this village and admire its magnificent 15th and 16th century houses.
On the charming Place des Tilleuls, the famous Hostellerie du Vieux Pérouges awaits you for a gourmet break within its 13th century walls.

You will then be able to continue your visit at your own leisure. Be charmed by the town's authenticity.

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.
