Cite medievale de Perouges

Reviewed By gfsc5 - Perth, Australia

This restored medieval village is well worth a visit if you're into history and architecture. The streets and lanes are all paved with cobblestones and most of the houses are built with stone. It's impossible to get lost as the main street is circular. It's based around a town square with a 200yo linden tree. And some nice restaurants. Take the time to visit the museum - only 5 euro - not least so you have the chance to climb the tower which gives great views over the village roofs and the surrounding countryside. It's one of those places where it's impossible to take a bad photo.

Chateau de Flecheres

Reviewed By Mariahcat - Coatesville, United States

We took this as an added tour on our cruise so we went via bus. The chateau is awesome, there used to be a moat in the front but it has been filled in. We went inside and met the host, also the owner. He was very welcoming, gave a history of the chateau and answered all questions. We had our own guide take us through, wish we could have had more time. You can tell it's a loving restoration. According to the owner all the frescoes on the walls had been covered up either with wood panels or plaster by a previous owner, which explained why , when they were uncovered, they were in such great condition. The period decor is beautiful with carved stone fireplaces and a beautiful peach and black diamond style marble floor. I did, when talking to the owner, ask why there were no smoke detectors, all my brothers were firefighters, so that jumped out at me. He didn't feel they were necessary. There was a table out near the end of the drive on the way out with postcards available on the honor system. I was surprised more people didn't purchase them to help with the restoration. Would love to go back.
