Very beautiful medieval city. The village of my childhood. Absolutely taste the pancakes! 😉🍰

The Jons dam is the last major river regulation facility directly upstream of Lyon. Completed in 1937, it was used to direct the flow towards the Jonage canal, to the detriment of the Miribel canal, for the needs of the Cusset hydroelectric power station.

The medieval city of Pérouges is a true jewel of the past. Located to the east of Lyon, it transports us to a distant era, where cobbled streets and houses made of pebbles and bricks tell stories of yesteryear. With its 80 inhabitants living within its walls and 1,200 residents in the commune, Pérouges is an inhabited village which freely welcomes visitors all year round.

A few hundred meters from the village of Pérouges, let yourself descend to the hawthorn pond. It is a landscaped and well maintained place that is very pleasant and relaxing.

The Saint-Maurice church is a Catholic church located in the town of Saint-Maurice-de-Gourdans. It was built in the 13th century. It was added to the list of historical monuments in 1909.

Aubepin Lake is a water reserve created artificially in 2005 by the municipality of Meximieux. This one-hectare body of water was built on an old canal which feeds the Moulin Favre, whose wheel you can see still in action at the end of the body of water. This green place will be ideal for a stroll and the signs that line its outline will allow you to learn a little more about the surrounding fauna and flora.

Ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, Pérouges offers you a trip to the Middle Ages. The tourist activities between April and August will allow you to see the city from another angle. Between history and terroir, this city of character 30 kilometers from Lyon will not leave you insensitive with its medieval and authentic charm. Do not forget before leaving to taste the local speciality: the Peruvian pancake, the unmissable sugar pie.

Many shady paths, paths through fields in the plain. Lots of crops including wheat that ripple with the wind. Very pleasant and easy walk.
