Hostellerie du Vieux-Pérouges
The best thing about 13th-century timbered inn is its location in the picturesque town square. It’s chock-a-block with antiques, from iron lanterns to dressers lined with pewter plates. With tables spilling onto the outdoor terrace, you can soak up the medieval atmosphere over an unashamedly old-fashioned lunch of Bresse chicken with creamed morels. If you do decide to stay, go all out for a lit à baldaquin (four-poster bedroom) in Le Manoir or St Georges, as Pavillion rooms lack charm.
