I was quite surpised not to find Perouges village mentionned in the video.

The medieval city of Perouges situated in the north of Lyon was visited by the Clintons when Clinton was president of the Unites States. It is a lovely village inhabited by craftsmen and you can taste the delicious « Galette de Pérouges » made with butter and sugar.
