Light Triangle Perouges
OVER ONE HUNDRED VIEWS ~ THANK YOU
Pérouges was inhabited by craftsmen – mainly farmers and linen weavers. It was probably founded by a Gallic colony returning from Perogia in Italy.
In 1167 the Seigneur d’Anthon famously shut the commune’s walls against the troops of the Archbishop of Lyon, and as early as 1236 the inhabitants earned communal freedom.
In 1601 the town officially became French. Until the end of the 18th century, the textile industry in Pérouges boomed. In the 19th century, however, roads and railroads were re-routed and the population dropped from 1,500 to 8.
But, starting in 1911, the town was restored and houses were saved. Today, Pérouges is a popular tourist attraction.

Lyon is one of my favourite cities, not just in France but anywhere; we were there for Bastille Day; will be in Paris this year; but intend going back to Lyon next year if not sooner
