Medieval town of Pérouges

Highlight • Historical Site

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.

Aubépin Pond

Highlight • Lake

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.
