Pérouges, Museum Verandah

(2 photos)

From the verandah of the museum we could gaze over the old vine-covered buildings. Large trees shade the square, flower boxes grace the window sills, and wisteria twists from building to building along the ancient stone streets. The beautiful dog added a touch of grace, and certainly is a significant component in the picture. If the dog hadn’t been there voluntarily, I would have hired it, just to make the picture elegant!

Hundreds of years ago Pérouges was governed by “Humbert 2nd, Dauphin of Viennois.” We wonder if the last letter of that name is “misspelled” in his name or ours.

While Pérouges has restaurants, hotels, and stores for today’s tourists, we found it incongruous to see school children playing in the 500-year-old (or older) school yard.
