Lyon to Perouges and Monastere Royal de Brou: Day trip

As you walk through the gates of this medieval walled town, you will be greeted by the village’s cobbled streets lined with old facades and its 15th-century church. Perouges is a quintessential French village with its medieval timber-framed houses and Renaissance residences with mullioned windows, and as such as been featured in a number of films. Following the narrow streets toward the centre of the village, you will find the Place du Tilleuls with its 13th-century inn, Old St. George House, and the 200-year-old tree of liberty planted shortly after the French Revolution. This makes for the perfect place to stop for a coffee and absorb the beauty of this enchanting village, which retains a palpable atmosphere of life in medieval France. Not only a recipient itself, Perouges is one of the top rated of the villages of all those that have received the designation of one of “The Most Beautiful Villages in France”.
