Pérouges is a typical village of the Middle Age located on top of a hill at about 35km of Lyon. A lot of efforts have been made to preserve its medieval character and all the historic buildings have been restored. It's very charming.

Perouge , a medieval walled village established in 11th century (need to verify year). Now it has a population of 90, most of them are in tourist industry. In a gift store, we saw a photo of President and Mrs. Clinton during their visit there.
More photos in travelogue, text later, 2002-May-04.

Please, please, visit Perouges in the dusk; 20 km. from Lyon. These medieval small village remains as in the XVI century.
And you would find nice menus (including frogs which are the speciality) in 'Auberge du Coq'.

One of the 'passes/gates' of Perouge from where you can have a grand view of the countryside. Perouge is on top of a small hill.
