We took a day trip to the coolest medieval walled town very close to Lyon.  It's been named one of the most beautiful villages in France and after visiting, i'm sure it's true! There were a few restaurants, markets, bakeries, a church, a few small stores, etc.  You could almost live in this village and not have to leave for much. If you ever plan to visit Lyon, make sure Perouges is on your list as well!
