General presentation
Perouse et Assise
Cultural heart of Umbria, between hill towns, Franciscan basilica, medieval streets and mild landscapes.
Perouse, Basilica Saint-Francois d'Assisi and Assisi give the most eloquent landmarks of Perouse and Assisi. Together, they form a destination where urban life, heritage and the countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: sloping cities and summer heat. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Perouse
Perugia combines historical centers and local materials that are observed mainly by walking between the squares. The alleys give a clear frame to understand the successive layers of the city without effort. An excellent entrance door to follow Assisi with an enlarged look.
Heritage
Basilique Saint-Francois d'Assise
The Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi imposes a sensitive progression: external form, inner perspective, details that emerge at the right angle. The force of the place is perceived by slowly entering, then allowing the light to vary the volumes. An essential stop for a spiritual and architectural experience.
Place
Spello
Spello Its streets are sloping between Roman doors, pink stone houses and flowered balconies. The village has a very concrete delicacy: a fresco in a chapel, a escape from the olive trees, a staircase covered with pots are enough to slow down the step without the effect of forced decor.
Place
Gubbio
Gubbio The Piazza Grande gives the measure of the place: austere, open, almost theatrical, it sums up the mineral strength of this Umbrian city. It is the most important place in the world, and the most important place in the world.
