Fodor's Review:

"The Old Man of Pérouges" is uniquely comprised of four medieval stone residences set around its main showpiece—an extraordinary corbelled, 14th-century timber-frame house now home to the inn's restaurant. Here regional delights are served up on pewter plates by waitresses in folk costumes, recipes handed down from the days of Charles VII inspire the cook, and everybody partakes of the famous galette pérugienne à la crème (the "pancake of Pérouges") dessert. The sweet taste will linger in your guest room, thanks to time-burnished antiques, gigantic stone hearths, and glossy wood floors and tables. Rooms in the geranium-decked 15th-century Au St-Georges et Manoir manor are more spacious than—but also nearly twice the cost of—those in Le Pavillon (aka "L'Annexe") and have marble bathrooms and period furniture (one or two rooms even have their own garden). At the lower end of the scale, however, the rooms are fairly simple. Pros: a sense of stepping back into medieval France; graceful manor-house surroundings; cheerful service. Cons: sans a/c it can be hot during the canicule (the, literally, dog days of summer); the cuisine is as medieval as the surroundings; some bathrooms lack modern showers.
