Pérouges
・Annual medieval festival where you can experience a time slip
・Famous galette that can only be eaten here
【Village description】
This is a small village on the north-west of Lyon. The stone buildings remind the medieval epoch. Although the population was only 8 people at the beginning of 20th century, people came back because the village got a label of one of the most beautiful villages in France. They change in the medieval costume during the medieval festival in June. As the galette is the famous food, you should taste it.
