summer every year.

The lovely Mon-Repos public park is in the immediate vicinity, with theadded appeal of a large aviary of exotic birds. The park is also the setting of

the Federal Tribunal, the seat of supreme judicial authority of the Swiss

Confederation (CH).

during winter.

Vidy Hautes Ecoles

This is where you will find the IOC headquarters, numerous sports groundsand recreational amenities such as Bourget Park, which runs alongside thelake for more than a kilometre, is open for bathing and has two different

faces: from October to March, people take solitary walks amidst wind and

water whilst, from April to September, the grassed areas are occupied byarmies of families and students from sunrise until well into the night.

At Dorigny, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) constitutes one

Major Davel

Standing against the faade of Chteau Saint-Maire is the statue

of Major Davel, one of the heroes of local history. At the start

of the 18thcentury, this Vaudois patriot attempted to liberate the region

of Vaud, which at that time was held by the Bernese. Betrayed byhis own people, he was executed in Vidy, on the shores of Lake Geneva.

History MuseumSituated next to the Cathedral

and built in successive stages

between the 11th and 15th centuries,

the former Bishops Palace

houses the Lausanne History

Museum today. Until the

15th century, it was the residence

of bishops before they chose

to move to Chteau Saint-Maire,at the other end of the Cit.

Chteau Saint-Maire

Constructed at the beginning ofthe 15th century, this chateau wasoriginally the Bishops Palace.

Between1536 and 1798, underBernese rule, it subsequentlybecame the residence of the bailiffs.Today it is the home of the ConseildEtat (State Council), which governsthe Canton of Vaud. Like theCathedral, this monument is built ofmolasse, a stone composed of sandaggregates. However, the upper sec-

tion is made of red brick in a styleremin-iscent of northern Italy andalso to be seen in others of theregions chateaux.

CathedralPerched at the top of the hill in

the Cit, this 13th-century Gothic

structure dominates the centre

of the city. The Cathedral, the

biggest in Switzerland, has some

notable features: a painted portal,

a true masterpiece of Gothic

sculpture, a rose window

comprising 105 panels recountingthe history of the medieval world

and an impressive organ boasting

6,000 pipes. (Cf. walk A)

Ancienne Acadmie

Built in the middle of the

16th cen-tury, the AncienneAcadmie housed Europes first

college of Protestant and French

theology, then the University

between 1890 and 1987. Today

it is used for educational courses

prior to university entrance.

To fully appreciate the scale

of this vast building, it is advisable

to cross the minor Andr-BonnardPlace (situated in the middle

of the Rue Cit-Devant, level

with a pretty fountain), then

turn left.

Escaliers du March

The covered flight of steps leading from the Place

de la Palud to the Cathedral is surely one of the

most picturesque spots in the town centre. Built in

the 13th cen-tury to link the towns two markets in

the Middle Ages, these steps are bordered by

terraced buildings dating back to the 16th

century.

Mon-Repos Park

Filled with magnificent trees,

this peaceful area of greeneryat the heart of the town belonged

to a succession of local dignitaries

in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The lower section contains the

beautiful Mon-Repos Villa,

the former residence of Baron

Pierre de Coubertin, founder

of the Olympic Movement.

Former stables and an aviaryof exotic birds are also situated

nearby. In the middle of the

18thcentury, amateur performers

staged Voltaires plays in the

presence of the author.

(Cf. walk B)

Federal Tribunaland its grounds

Situated in the upper section ofMon-Repos Park, the imposing

neo-Classical Federal Tribunal

was inaugurated in 1927. In the

grounds, hidden among the

vegetation, are a few 19th- century

structures inspired by the

Romantic concept of English

gardens: a neo-Gothic tower

leading to a small waterfall and agrotto, a neo-Classical temple

offering a lovely view of Lake

Geneva and the mountains, and an

old orangerie partly constructed

of elegant yellow Jura limestone.

Place de la Palud

At the junction of several pedestrian streets, this square is one of the townscentral locations. This is where you will find the 17 th-century Town Hall, with

its typically Vaudois roof, arcades and Renaissance faade decorated with

two copper gargoyles in the form of dragons. In

the centre of the square is the towns oldest

fountain, adorned with a statue representing

justice. Close by, a clock presents the history

of Vaud in animated scenes every hour from 9:00

to 19:00. On Wednesday and Saturday mornings

this is the site of the country market, which alsosets up shop in the neighbouring pedestrian

streets. (Cf. walk A)

Palais de Rumine

The Rumine family, descendedfrom the Russian aristocracy,wanted to find a special way ofthanking the town for its hospitality.It made a donation enabling thishuge Florentine-style building to beerected on the Place de la Riponne

a century ago. This buildingcurrently houses the CantonalMuseum of Fine Arts, along withseveral natural science museums.

Saint-Laurent Church

Situated at the heart of a vast

network of pedestrian and

shopping streets, this building

made of molasse was constructed

in its present form in the 18th cen-

tury. However, mention was first

made of the existence of a church

in this spot ten centuries ago. Its

faade, adorned with a beautiful

clock, is a rare example of Baroque

architecture in Lausanne.

Saint-Franois Church with its

elegant bell tower, built two

centuries later. The church initiallystood next to a Franciscan

convent (hence the name).

Rue de BourgUntil the beginning of the 19th cen-

tury, the Rue de Bourg, which is a

pedestrian zone today, was one of

the main thoroughfares of old

Lausanne. In those days the town

only extended over three hills,

those of Cit, Saint-Laurent and

Bourg. Being mainly occupied by

patrician families, this street wasan elegant and

sophisticated

meeting place. If

Bel-Air Towerand Salle Mtropole

Built in 1932 by Alphonse

Laverrire, Bel-Air Tower was

based on the American model

(with a metal framework covered

in stone). Standing at a height

of 55 metres, this was one of

Switzerlands first skyscrapers.

At the time, many Lausanne

residents were opposed to its

construction, claiming that its size

would compete with that of their

beloved Cathedral. The Salle

Mtropole situated at the foot

of the tower has welcomed

numerous stars since the 1930s,

including dancer Josphine Bakerand trumpeter Louis Armstrong.

Many shows are still held there

throughout the year.

Tour de lAle

Dating back to the 14th century,

this tower is the last vestige of

Lausannes old city walls, mostly

destroyed during the 18th century.

Standing some 20 metres high,

it is in very close proximity to

blocks of flats today. A century ago,

it served the unusual purpose of a

pig slaughterhouse.

Flon QuarterThis quarter at the heart of

Lausanne has undergone non-stop

transformation over the last few

years to become one of the towns

showcase districts, particularly for

its nightlife. A few decades ago, the

place was still full of warehouses

storing goods that arrived via a

metro system by train or boat.The carriage track that still

crosses many sections of this

quarter is a reminder of that era,

even if the rails have long since

disappeared.

Esplanade deMontbenon, Casinoand Tribunal

In the very heart of the city, the

Esplanade de Montbenon offers

exceptional views over Lake

Geneva and the mountains, all in

an idyllic natural setting. Two regal

buildings are the crowning glory

of this esplanade: the Casino deMontbenon, famous as the home

of the Swiss Film Archive, and the

impressive Renaissance-style

Palais de Justice.

some ingenious childrens

amusements, extends out from

the base of the hill.

Boulevard de Grancy

Lined by magnificent bourgeois

houses, this boulevard is the only

one in Lausanne, even though it is

no widerthan any other street. It

owes its name to a project dating

from the end of the 19th century to

create a vast thoroughfare along the

lines of the Parisian boulevards.This ambitious initiative was quickly

abandoned but, if you look at how far

the oldest remaining houses (situ-

ated opposite the m2 metro stop)

are set back from the road, you can

gain an idea of its original breadth.

LausanneRailway Station

Owing to the quite distinct

topography of the city, Lausannes

first station was constructed

outside its walls in 1856, amidst

the vines (which back then spread

out from Place Saint-Franois to

Ouchy)! The present building, at theheart of the city today, was built

almost a century ago, inspired by

Leipzig station (Germany).

Beautiful buildings:Synagogue and old hotels

The Synagogue was constructed in 1910 thanks to a

Jewish patron from Bordeaux (France), who wished to

express his gratitude to the Swiss for welcoming the

Bourbaki Army in 1870. Not far away, in Avenue des

Alpes and Avenue dEvian, are three lovely buildings,

prominent people who would build

a mansion house with an adjoiningfarm, all surrounded by orchards,

meadows, fields and leisure parks.

Several of these campagnesarestill well preserved today and have

Bois-de-VauxCemetery

This cemetery was designed in the

1920s by one of the regions famousarchitects, Alphonse Laverrire,

who is also responsible for Bel-Air

Tower and the present-day railway

station. With its Italian gardens, this

site, which now numbers 25,000

tombs and crypts, was also planned

as a place for walks. Coco Chanel,

Sauvabelin Forest

Lausanne is fortunate enough to

have a real green lung of over

50 hectares at the heart of the city.

This vast leafy forest, including asmall lake and a wooden tower, is

mostly made up of beech and oak

trees. Some of the trees are more

than a 100 years old and are home

to several species of birds such as

the owl, as well as a large colony

of bats. (Cf. walks A and B)

There is a rather unusual museum

on the edge of Sauvabelin Forest,

entirely given over to reptiles.

Snakes, lizards, bird spiders,

crocodiles, tortoises can be

viewed in conditions akin to their

natural habitat. The central themeis the astonishing diversity of these

creatures.

Hermitage Estate and Museum

This property was occupied by the Bugnion banking family from the middle

of the 19th century until 1976. This charming campagneis the best preservedone in the city, and you will find a mansion house, a farm, an English garden

and an orchard. The former mansion house now accommodates an art

museum of international renown run by the Hermitage Foundation; with

views spanning the old town, the lake and the mountains, the setting is

absolutely idyllic.

Vaudois University

Hospital Centre (CHUV)The CHUV comprises several

buildings of which the main one,

overlooking a good part of the

town, was built in 1982. At the

leading edge of research in many

It is a good half-hours very pleasant walk

downhill to the town centre or the Cit district

from Sauvabelin Lake, passing through the

bucolic Hermitage Estate. To do this, simply fol-

low the Around the tower signs as far as mar-

ker No. 4, then go through the meadows downto the Hermitage and its museum before finally

reaching the heart of the city through English

gardens dotted with majestic trees.

From Sauvabelin Lake it is possible to follow

the arrows of a looping marked trail, entitled

Around the tower. This 5-kilometre forest

itinerary will allow you to explore Sauvabelin

Forest and the beautiful Flon River falls.

Close to Chteau Saint-Maire, in the Place de

la Barre, there is a fountain whose water has

the unusual distinction of being cold all year

round. This water partly originates from a

source in the Prealps, over 50 kilometres

away from Lausanne! As the town developed

a little over a century ago, prealpine sources

such as these were tapped and brought to

Lausanne to ensure supplies of drinking

water.

Collection of Art Brut

Lausanne has been the capital of Art Brut since 1976.The only one of its kind in the world long before

offshoot institutions appeared in Europe and the USA,

the Collection of Art Brut remains the parentcompany and THE point of reference for marginal art.

Its core collection in fact comes from the inventor of

Art Brut himself, the French artist Jean Dubuffet, whowas the first to recognise the presence of art in the

spontaneous and culturally marginal creations that he

discovered in asylums and prisons, or produced byspiritualists, outsiders and other misfits

Collection donated by Jean Dubuffet, works by other

outsiders from all over the world.

hand, a fundamental characteristic of the human race

that has ensured the success of our species.

and Contemporary Arts

The name of Lausannes trendiest museum is an

monumental model, on a scale of 1:200, portraying

Lausanne in the 17th century.

Olympic Museum

This is indisputably the best known of Lausannes

museums over five continents. And the most visited:

between 160,000 and 210,000 admissions annually,

many children, many school parties. Juan Antonio

Samaranch, president of the IOC from 1980 to 2001,wanted the museum to help promote and spread the

ideals of the Olympic Movement. The museum usesimages and symbols to show that Olympism is not

merely a matter of a sports competition: it is a

philosophy of life whose roots are deeply embedded in

our history. Sport, art and culture are the traditionalpillars of Olympism, states the official literature. The

museum thus unites these three expressions of

humanity under one roof.

Lausanne-Vidy Roman Museum

A permanent exhibition tells the story of daily life onthe shores of Lacus Lemannustwenty centuries ago.It was an era of change during which the people had

to get used to a new language (Latin), writing, newtechnologies (stonework, tiles, glass, blown glass),

new foods (olive oil, fish from the sea, dates),

the writer C. F. Ramuz, in the heart of the town. Fully

restored in 1991 in accordance with modern museumguidelines, its vocation is based around its architecture.

A harmonious blend of past and present.

Pully Roman Villa

A terraced construction, this villa, the full extent ofwhich is not yet known, displays all the features typical

of large villas in the Roman era: private baths, reception

rooms, porticos, leisure pool, mosaics and murals, all

the 1st century AD. Mosaics of the Lake Geneva arc.
