Cité – Mon-Repos

06

1

Perched at the top of the hill in the Cité, 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 recount-

ing the history of the medieval world and an impressive

organ boasting 7,000 pipes dating back to 2003.

(Cf. walk A)

Standing against the façade of Château Saint-Maire is the statue

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

the 18th century, this Vaudois patriot

attempted to liberate the region of

Vaud, which at that time was held

by the Bernese. Betrayed by his own

people, he was executed in Vidy, on

the shores of Lake Geneva.

Situated next to the Cathedral and built

in successive stages between the 11th

and the 15th century, the former Bishop’s

Palace houses the Lausanne History

Museum today. Until the 15th century, it

was the residence of bishops before they

chose to move to Château Saint-Maire, at

the other end of the Cité.

Constructed at the beginning of the 15th century, this

chateau was originally the Bishop’s Palace. Between

1536 and 1798, under Bernese rule, it subsequently

became the residence of the bailiffs. Today it is the home

of the Conseil d’Etat (State Council), which governs the

Canton of Vaud. Like the Cathedral, this monument is

built of molasse, a stone

composed of sand aggre-

gates. However, the upper

section is made of red

brick in a style reminis-

cent of northern Italy and

also to be seen in others

of the region’s chateaux.

Built in the middle of the 16th century, the Ancienne

Académie housed Europe’s fi rst 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 André-Bonnard Place (situated in the middle of

the Rue Cité-Devant, level with a pretty fountain), then

turn left.

Situated in the upper section of Parc Mon-Repos, the imposing neoclassical 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 a grotto, a neoclassical temple of-

fering a lovely view of Lake Geneva and the mountains, and an old orangerie partly

constructed of elegant yellow Jura limestone.

Filled with magnifi cent trees, this peaceful area

of greenery at 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 aviary of exotic

birds are also situated nearby.

In the middle of the 18th cen-

tury, amateur performers staged Voltaire’s plays

in the presence of the author. (Cf. walk B)

The covered fl ight 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 century to link the

town’s two markets in

the Middle Ages, these

steps are bordered by

terraced buildings dating

back to the 16th century.

The Cathedral’s bell tower is home to a

mysterious character whose cry of “all’s well” can be heard every night between the hours of 10 pm and 2 am. This is the

Cathedral’s famous night watchman, who is

carrying on an old tradition handed down

over more than 600 years. In the Middle

Ages, the watchman’s job was to raise the

alarm in the event of fi re, the majority of

the town’s houses being made of wood.

It is pleasant to stroll along the peaceful alleys of the historic Cité quarter. The

same stone is used for buildings and street

paving, giving the area a highly pleasing

aesthetic quality.

Parc Mon-Repos has several interesting fea-

tures spread around its grounds. Places to

be explored on foot, in a good half-hour, by

following a series of paths and trails. To be

seen in the lower section: mansion house,

majestic trees, aviaries, old stables, statues,

romantic lawns... In the upper section: tower,

grotto, columned structure, old orangerie…

Town centre

Until the beginning of the 19th century, 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 Cité, Saint-Laurent and Bourg. Being mainly occupied by patrician

families, this street was an elegant and sophisticated meeting place. If you look up,

you will see the town’s loveliest group of 17th- and 18th-century houses. Today, this

street is popular with keen shoppers.

The Rumine family, descended from the Rus-

sian aristocracy, wanted to fi nd a special

way of thanking the town for its hospital-

ity. It made a donation enabling this huge

Florentine-style building to

be erected on the Place de la

Riponne a century ago. This

building currently houses

the Cantonal Museum of Fine

Arts, along with several nat-

ural science museums.

Situated at the heart of a vast net-

work of pedestrian and shopping

streets, this building made of molasse

was constructed in its present form in

the 18th century. However, mention

was fi rst made of the existence of a

church in this spot ten centuries ago.

Its façade, adorned with a beautiful

clock, is a rare example of Baroque

architecture in Lausanne.

This central town square is surrounded by

impressive buildings which today house

banks, post offi ce and shops. In the middle of

the square is the 13th-century Saint-François

Church with its elegant bell tower, built two

centuries later. The church initially stood next

to a Franciscan convent (hence the name).

Palais de Rumine

At the junction of several pedestrian streets, this square

is one of the town’s central locations. This is where you

will fi nd the 17th-century Town Hall, with its typically

Vaudois roof, arcades and Renaissance façade decorated

with two copper gargoyles in the form of dragons. In

the centre of the square

is the town’s oldest

fountain, adorned with

a statue representing

justice. Close by, a clock

presents the history of

Vaud in animated scenes

every hour from 9 am to

7 pm. On Wednesday and

Saturday mornings this is the site of the country market,

which also sets up shop in the neighbouring pedestrian

streets. (Cf. walk A)

Built in 1932 by Alphonse Laverrière, Bel-Air Tower was based on the Ameri-

can model (with a metal framework covered in stone). Standing at a height of

55 metres, this was one of Switzerland’s fi rst “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 Métropole situated at

the foot of the tower has welcomed numerous stars since the 1930s, including

dancer Josephine Baker and trumpeter Louis Armstrong. Many shows are still

held there throughout the year.

At the very heart of the city, the Esplanade de Montbenon

offers exceptional views over Lake Geneva and the moun-

tains, all in an idyllic natural setting. Two regal buildings

are the crowning glory of this esplanade: the Casino de

Montbenon, famous as the home of the Swiss Film Archive,

and the impressive Renaissance-style Palais de Justice.

(Cf. walk B)

Dating back to the 14th century, this

tower is the last vestige of Lausanne’s old

city walls, mostly destroyed during the

18th century. Standing some 20 metres

high, it is in very close proximity to blocks

of fl ats today. A century ago, it served the

unusual purpose of a pig slaughterhouse.

This quarter at the heart of Lausanne has undergone continuous transformation

over the last few years to become one of the town’s showcase districts, particu-

larly 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.

Situated at the start of the Rue de l’Ale, the Pinte Besson is the oldest bistro in Lausanne,

in business since 1780. Its vaulted interior and

wood furnishings make it a most welcoming

place. Whilst there, you can try the famous

“topettes” of regional wines.

The town centre’s many pedestrian and shop-

ping alleyways between Place Saint-François

and Place de la Riponne are conducive to a

leisurely stroll. Look upwards to appreciate

the full glory of the traditional tall buildings.

Situated on a sort of ridge, the Esplanade

de Montbenon is a peaceful spot where it is

pleasant to walk amongst extensive lawns

and fl owerbeds against a backdrop of lake

and mountains. Some nice detours will take you in just a few minutes to the Flon district, on the one hand, and the railway station, on

the other.

This former fi shing village has several places of interest,

including the vast Place de la Navigation with its summer

events, the Château d’Ouchy crowned with a 12th-century

tower, the prestigious, part neo-Baroque Beau-Rivage Palace,

and pleasant, tree-lined quays offering stunning glimpses of

Lake Geneva, Evian, the Savoy Alps and the renowned Lavaux

vineyard, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

From Ouchy the quays open

out into a vast public park

with extensive grassed areas

and age-old trees. The grounds

are graced by a 16-metre-

high Thai pavilion, a present

from Thailand to the City of

Lausanne, where the current

king lived and studied. The Vuachère River fl ows

serenely by on the outskirts of the park. Near its

mouth stands Haldimand Tower, erected in 1823

by the owner of the site at the height of the Ro-

mantic period. (Cf. walk B)

Situated in a charming 18th-century mansion

house, this photography mu-

seum presents several exhibi-

tions on a variety of themes

every year. In addition, it pos-

sesses a collection of 100,000

original prints, some of which

date back to the 19th century.

The mansion house, still sur-

rounded by elegant pleasure gardens, welcomed

some famous guests at the beginning of the 19th

century, including the novelist Madame de Staël.

There are several ways

of taking a tour of Lake

Geneva specifi cally to en-

joy the panoramic views

of Lausanne and the sur-

rounding area: the luxuri-

ous Compagnie Générale

de Navigation CGN boats, some steamers among

them, the solar-powered Les Aquarels du Léman

boats (from May to September) or even pedalos,

propelled by driver power.

Surrounded by pretty ter-

raced gardens, this museum is

the world’s leading centre of

information on the Olympic

Movement. State-of-the-art

audiovisual, IT and robotics

technology make it a unique,

lively and interactive place.

The visitor will experience

at fi rst hand the emotions of

the athletes and the best moments of the Games.

Scheduled to reopen at the end of 2013 after ex-

tensive renovations. (Cf. walk A)

Formed by an ancient glacial moraine, this hill offers a

unique panoramic vista over Lake Geneva, the mountains

and the city. The Cantonal Botanical Museum and gar-

dens, which include 6,000 plants from all over the globe,

are situated on the southern hillside. The Place de Milan,

a green space with a large grassy area, an ornamental

lake and some ingenious children’s amusements, extends

out from the base of the hill.

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 d’Evian, are three lovely buildings, former hotels converted back to

residential accommodation, which enjoy stunning lake views and bear witness to the elegant architec-

ture of the late 19th century.

Lined by magnifi cent bour-

geois houses, this boulevard is

the only one in Lausanne, even

though it is no wider than 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 quick-

ly abandoned but, if you look at how far the oldest

remaining houses (situated opposite the m2 metro

stop) are set back from the road, you can gain an

idea of its original breadth.

Owing to the quite distinct

topography of the city,

Lausanne’s fi rst station

was constructed outside

its walls in 1856, amidst

the vines (which back then

spread out from Place

Saint-François to Ouchy)!

The present building, at the heart of the city today, was

built almost a century ago, inspired by Leipzig station

(Germany).

The port of Ouchy, opposite the “Ouchy” m2 metro stop, has a boat unique among its kind. This

is La Vaudoise, the last fl at-bottomed barque with Latin sails constructed (in 1932) for the trans-

port of goods such as stone, gravel, sand, wood…

Built in the 1930s, this swimming pool on the shores of

Lake Geneva, between Ouchy and Vidy, has lawns as far

as the eye can see. The design of the facility accurately

refl ects the era’s awareness of the issue of hygiene.

Keen swimmers can choose from an Olympic pool, div-

ing boards, a non-swimmers’ pool, a paddling pool and

lakeside beaches.

This museum retraces the history of Roman settlement in Lausanne, from

the end of the 1st century BC to the 4th century AD. At the time, Lausanne

was Lousonna, a city of between 1,500 and 2,000 people on the shores of

Lake Geneva. It was in a strategic location in terms of road and maritime

transport. Not far from the museum you can explore the quite considerable

ruins of the forum, which lay at the heart of this ancient city.

This train for small (and big) children

chugs along the shores of the lake between

lawns and pine forests. It was brought

into service in 1964 when the National

Exhibition was being held in Lausanne.

Major embankment works were carried

out on the shores of the lake at the time. In

fact, the route now taken by the miniature

train used to be part of… the lake.At the entrance to the city, the vast recreational zone of

Vidy spans the shores of Lake Geneva, providing sheer

enjoyment for lovers of nature and fresh air. Long sandy

beaches are lined by wide areas of grass, dotted with

beautiful trees. There is also a yachting resort, a string

of waterside bars and restaurants, the famous Théâtre de

Vidy-Lausanne, numerous sports facilities (beach volley-

ball court, minigolf, skate park…) and even a bird reserve

graced with a romantic pond. (Cf. walks A and B)

Château de Vidy, the headquarters of the International

Olympic Committee today, is a stately home built in

the 18th century. At the time, Lausanne had some thirty

“campagnes” like this one in Vidy. These were vast coun-

try estates belonging to prominent people who would

build a mansion house with an adjoining farm, all sur-

rounded by orchards, meadows, fi elds and leisure parks.

Several of these “campagnes” are still well preserved

today and have become pleasant public amenities

(Hermitage, Mon-Repos, Denantou, Valency…).

The Hautes Ecoles (higher education institutions) bask in an idyllic

setting beside Lake Geneva. The Dorigny university campus hous-

es UNIL and EPFL (one of two Swiss Federal Institutes of Technol-

ogy) side by side. It’s numbers 31,000 students and staff, almost

10% of Lausanne’s total population. Château de Dorigny and its

outbuildings remain at the heart of the campus, together with a

lovely country park, which features a majestic avenue of plane

trees leading to the lake.

This cemetery was designed

in the 1920s by one of the

region’s famous architects,

Alphonse Laverrière, who is

also responsible for Bel-Air

Tower and the present-day

railway station. With its Ital-

ian gardens, this site, which

now numbers 25,000 tombs

and crypts, was also planned

as a place for walks. Coco

Chanel, internationally famous fashion and perfume

designer, is laid to rest here, as is Baron Pierre de

Coubertin, the moderniser of the Olympic Games.

Nestling in a small valley, this expanse of

greenery provides lovely glimpses over Lake

Geneva. It was created to mark the National

Exhibition held in Lausanne in 1964. It is also

a favourite spot for rose lovers, with countless

varieties decorating

the gently sloping

lawns in a stunning

pageant of colours.

It is possible to take the “Sports Trail”

through the green zone of Vidy. This route is

a 4-kilometre loop on the fl at and is marked

out on the ground in the colours of the

Olympic rings. Along this trail, 22 markers

explain the history of the Olympic Games

and of sport in Lausanne . There are several

departure points, the minigolf or the IOC

headquarters among them.

Good walkers can leave the green zone of

Vidy and reach the town of Morges along

the shores of the lake. Around 10 kilome-

tres in length, this route on the fl at will take

you past the village of Saint-Sulpice, the nat-

ural beauty of the mouth of the Venoge and

the sandy beaches of Préverenges to the

town of Morges. You can return to Lausanne

by boat or train.

Situated just below the railway lines, there is a

unique feature at the top of Languedoc hill: a

vineyard in the middle of town! The small adjacent

public park provides poetic, panoramic views over

Lake Geneva and the mountains. This vineyard is

there as a reminder that the City of Lausanne in the

19th century was one of the region’s most important

wine-growing communes, with the lower section

covered in vineyards from the Place Saint-François

to the edge of the lake.

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 a small lake and a wooden tower, is mostly made up of beech and oak trees.

Some of the trees are more than 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)

Created in 1888, this little artifi cial lake

nestles amidst lovely greenery in the mid-

dle of the forest. The people of Lausanne

have gone skating there in the winter for

many decades. These days, during the high

season, you can take a pleasant boat ride

then have something to eat and drink by

the water’s edge; not to mention the ani-

mal park with endangered native species:

booted goat, woolly pig, Rhaetian cattle…

Erected in 2003, this wooden tower soars above the

surrounding treetops to provide breathtaking 360°

panoramic views over the city, Lake Geneva, the

mountain ranges of the Alps and the Jura, and the neigh-

bouring countryside. Standing

35 metres high, it is constructed

from wood sourced from the

city’s forests alone. Its spiral

staircase is designed along the

same lines as those in Château

de Chambord (France), conceived

by Leonardo da Vinci.

This property was occupied by the Bugnion bank-

ing family from the middle of the 19th century

until 1976. This charming “campagne” is the best

preserved one in the city, and you will fi nd a man-

sion house, a farm, an English garden and an or-

chard. The former mansion house now accommo-

dates an art museum of international renown run

by the Hermitage Foundation; with views span-

ning the old town, the lake and the mountains, the

setting is absolutely idyllic.

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 theme is the

astonishing diversity of these creatures.

The Vaudois University Hospital Centre comprises

several buildings, of which the main one, over-

looking a good part of the town, was built in 1982.

At the leading edge of research in many fi elds,

this cantonal hospital employs more than 9,000

professionals and regularly hosts major medical

conventions.

Close to Château Saint-Maire, in the Place de la Barre, there is a fountain whose wa-

ter has the unusual distinction of being cold

all year round. This water partly originates

from a source in the Prealps, over 50 kilo-

metres away from Lausanne! As the town

developed a little over a century ago, pre-

alpine sources such as these were tapped

and brought to Lausanne to ensure supplies

of drinking water.

It is possible to go around the lake in about ten

minutes. It is a poetic spot with its ancient oak

trees along the banks, its enclosures housing

indigenous species and its boats which, in high

season, allow you to row with the current.

It is a good half-hour’s very pleasant walk

downhill to the town centre or the Cité district

from Lac de Sauvabelin, passing through the

bucolic Campagne de l’Hermitage. To do this,

simply follow the yellow signs from the Via

Jacobi (itinerary no. 4 in “La Suisse à pied”).

Having a section of the vast Jorat forest situated within its boundaries means that Lausanne is fortunate

enough to have an important area of green belt on its doorstep. Chalet-à-Gobet, accessible by bus, is the

departure point for several walks and cycle routes. Leafl ets can be obtained on the spot at Mauvernay

sports centre.

Open for more than a century and, as such, the oldest of its kind in the world, the Lausanne

Hotel School provides advanced training for jobs in the hospitality industry. Catering for nearly

2,000 students of more than

80 different nationalities, the

school is situated in the heights

of the city, adjoining the sweep-

ing expanse of the Jorat forest.

This internationally acclaimed museum exhibits artists

who are never recognised as such. Created some forty

years ago at the instigation of Jean Dubuffet, who do-

nated his personal collection to the City of Lausanne, this

museum has made its home in part of the Château de

Beaulieu, a beautiful 18th-century mansion.

Situated to the east of Lausanne, this medieval market town on the shores of Lake Geneva is a maze of

charming little streets and inner courtyards in the shadow of pretty buildings: chateau, churches, towers…

The village centre is also home to art galleries, shops and specialist stores. It is a short walk to the quays,

where it is nice to take a stroll past the

welcoming terraces. Outside the village,

vineyards cover a large part of the com-

mune; these terraces, which feature pretty

hamlets such as Le Châtelard and Savuit,

are the start of the Lavaux vineyard, a

UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Walk

Departing from the railway station, a 4-kilometre looped

trail in the communal vineyards passes the unusual

Bertholod Tower and the charming hamlets of Le Châtelard

views over the lake, is marked by sky-blue arrows (in

connection with the wine trail “Discovering the Lavaux

terraces”).

Pully

Saint-Sulpice

Situated to the east of Lausanne, the tiers of this town extend attractively from the banks of Lake

Geneva to the forests marking the start of the Plateau. The heart of this old market town is a net-

work of delightful little cobbled streets. It

is the site of Le Prieuré Church and its wide

esplanade overlooking the vineyards of

Le Clos du Pévret; also Pully Museum

which adjoins the family home of the fa-

mous author C. F. Ramuz; fi nally the Roman

Villa, open to visitors, and displaying all

the classic features of the Empire’s great

villas. Beside the lake, the port and hamlet

are nice spots for a visit, particularly the

vast expanse of greenery and miniature

train rides to delight the children.

Situated to the west of Lausanne, this residential district elegantly spans the shores of Lake Geneva.

One after the other, several areas of greenery provide stunning glimpses not only of this vast body

of water framed by mountains, but also of the Lausanne metropolitan area and the famous Lavaux

vineyard. Close to the shores, a Romanesque church

set in extensive grounds reveals its charms. Built by

monks almost 1,000 years ago, it is part of Clunisian

tradition and has a chancel decorated with frescoes.

At the far end of the commune, near to some sports

grounds, the sandy beaches of Le Laviau will delight

keen swimmers.

Chavannes-près-Renens

Situated to the west of Lausanne, not far from an important zone of commercial and craft enterprises,

this commune marks the border between town and country. Made up of tastefully restored former rural

residences, the heart of the village has retained a peaceful aspect. A church with an esplanade lined with

chestnut, maple and plane trees sits perched on a mound.

There are pleasant views over the surrounding area, particu-

larly looking downwards towards the line of trees through

which the famous Venoge river lazily meanders. This com-

mune owns nearly 100 hectares of forest, proof of its

proximity to the countryside.

Situated to the west of Lausanne, this commune is skirted by two rivers, the Mèbre and the Sorge, which

enclose the sports grounds where football and rugby matches are played at weekends. Most of the

properties here are of manageable proportions, with some of bigger dimensions, and this commune was

until 1974 the site of the Villars-Perrier chocolate factories, which produced the famous “têtes au choco”.

Since then these premises have been occupied by numerous craft workers and artists, making it one of the

biggest concentrations of activities of this kind assembled on

one site between Paris and Rome!

Walk

The serene Venoge river fl ows below the railway station.

It is possible to walk in a loop for a good half-hour by

Situated to the west of Lausanne, not far from an important zone of commercial and craft enterprises,

this village of manageable dimensions is a little haven of peace arranged around the Place Fredy-

Girardet, inaugurated in 1998, a short while

after the retirement of the famous restaura-

teur. In this square, the prestigious gourmet

restaurant has been taken over with gusto

by Benoît Violier, who succeeded Philippe

Rochat in 2012. Mainly comprising reno-

vated farms and small premises, the heights

above the village have an extensive area

of greenery, the Montassé festival ground,

particularly appreciated by picnickers.

Situated to the west of Lausanne, this little town extends around a vast plain enclosed by

several long ridges, the moraines of the former Rhone glacier. The old main village of Le Motty has

impressive renovated farms and, being built on one

of these moraines, commands panoramic views

of the surroundings. At the foot of this ridge, the

charming rural hamlet of Renges is a reminder of

the importance, both past and present, of market

gardening in the region. Not far from here fl ows the

serene Venoge, a river symbolic of the Vaudois and

glorifi ed by the poet-singer Jean Villard-Gilles.

Walk

From the “Bré” stop on bus route no. 18 (near the vil-

communal land there are still some farms, market

gardens and forestry activities. Public transport – the

LEB train line, also known as the “Brouette” – means

that Romanel-sur-Lausanne can be reached from

Lausanne-Flon in just over 10 minutes.

Walk

From Romanel-sur-Lausanne LEB station, follow the yellow signs of “Tourisme Pédestre” to reach

Vernand-Dessous forest in half an hour, where you will discover the “Pierre à Cambot”, a 50m³ rock! Around

20,000 years ago, this boulder was carried here by the Rhone glacier, which covered the entire region at

the time. Boulders were the fi rst natural elements to be protected in Switzerland (1868 for the “Pierre à

Cambot”); these hard rocks were used for construction, to the great displeasure of contemporary geolo-

gists who considered them to be of environmental interest.
