Perouges is a medieval
city that was in such disrepair that many called for it to be razed and
replaced with something more modern. Instead, people were given the opportunity
to buy a home for a few francs if they would restore it and then give it back
to the Association after 99 years. Hence, the medieval city was saved. This
started about 1907 and so most of the leases are up and the properties owned by
the Association.
The church was incorporated into the castle, making the stained glass windows unusually narrow.
At a Michelin restaurant, we were served cider and the regional specialty "Gallette" which tastes like pizza topped with cream and butter and then broiled.
