Perouges

Pérouges combines the tight-knit character of a fortified medieval town with the open setting of the Dombes in a way that reflects its historic position above the Ain plain. Within its stone ramparts, narrow cobbled lanes lead past timber-framed houses, small squares and the Church of Saint-Maurice, preserving the layout of the old cité. The town developed as a trading and weaving centre, and its specialty, galette de Pérouges, is still made as a flat, sugar-topped brioche. Its elevated site makes Pérouges a distinct stop between Lyon and the landscapes of eastern Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
