Food enthusiasts flock to the Bresse region, northeast of Lyon, for its incredible cuisine. This is partially because Bresse is home to the world’s only AOC-protected chicken, the Poulet de Bresse. This is the same protection given to authentically labeled Champagne, meaning a food product is produced to strict standards in a specific region. Travelers can visit Ferme Du Sougey (Sougey Farm) to witness traditional farming techniques in a serene, protected natural environment. The best time to visit is in mid-December, during the Les Glorieuses festival, when the region celebrates the chickens with competitions and markets. Tours are typically only available in the summer, so it's best to verify visiting hours and entry costs before visiting this working farm: https://www.bourgenbressedestinations.fr/offres/ferme-du-sougey-montrevel-en-bresse-fr-3048111/

Perouges
Perouges has been ranked one of the most beautiful villages in the country, and is known for its incredibly preserved medieval features and local cuisine. This tiny village immerses visitors in medieval times, with cobblestone streets, tiny stone houses, and artisan workshops showcasing the weaving and pottery techniques the village was once known for. Be sure to see the church fortress, the Eglise Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, and the central square, where an ancient linden tree and a well evoke visions of the past. Stop at the Hostellerie du Vieux Perouges, a historic inn, for a lunch of regional flavors and to try galette de Perouges for dessert.
