Description
Near the French city of Lyon, perched high on a hill with the French Alps as a magical backdrop, the medieval village of Pérouges is a perfectly preserved gothic treasure. It’s like walking through the pages of a story from the Middle Ages when knights and fair maidens ruled the day. This small village, one of Les plus beaux villages de France (the Most Beautiful Villages in France) has kept its Medieval past intact within its ancient walls.
In June, the city transforms itself back several centuries with its Fête Mediévale, and provides a journey into the Middle Ages with historical re-enactments of the camps, craftspeople, builders, dances and juggling. The Fête attracts musicians, acrobats, and entertainers from all over the region. At the foot of the ancient walls, camps give visitors a taste of everyday life during the period. There are craftspeople displaying products from the era, including art objects, fabrics, spices, jewelry, costumes and musical instruments. There is also fun for children, with activities, medieval games, and – of course - wooden swords.
