Superb medieval city, absolutely worth a detour!

The 15th century Ste Marie Madeleine church-fortress is a listed historical monument. Walkway, loopholes, ramparts, all make this a church almost unique in France. Its exceptional acoustic qualities make it possible to host concerts. Its location at the entrance to the medieval city sets the tone: the church of Pérouges cannot be a traditional Gothic church! Built like a fortress defending access to the medieval town, it consists of defensive walls pierced with narrow stained glass windows and a few side chapels. Of great austerity, which it has not always had, the church impresses with its dimensions and its ancient statues. The presence of loopholes makes it a rare building, witness to a bygone era. The church still hosts sacraments and celebrations, as well as many concerts. The statue of Mary Magdalene, present since the 15th century, watches over this raw jewel of Gothic art. https://www.lofficiel.net/eglise-sainte-marie-madeleine_8_7449.aspx
