"Lausanne" a Lausanne Travel Page by anne77

I have lived in Lausanne most of my life and although I have lived in other places, I really like this city! The scenery is beautiful, we are close to the mountains, to the lake, the vineyards, etc.

I like the old part of town, the small paved alleys, the old historical buildings, the cathedral of course and the view you can have from up there.

There are also many festivals in the area, exhibitions, etc, so there is always something to do.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have more questions or if you are planning a trip to the area, I'll be happy to help!
