Lausanne is said to be a "peasant girl who received a classical education," a nod to its university and the somewhat haughty impression it can sometimes give. A misleading image.

Situated on the shores of Lake Geneva, opening onto a magnificent mountain landscape, the city, with its hills and slopes, is more dynamic and accessible than it appears. Its university, federal polytechnic school, hospitality school, and thousands of students make it one of the youngest and trendiest cities in Switzerland.

Its pleasant atmosphere has also attracted many artists: David Bowie settled here, as did before him Coco Chanel, Georges Simenon, and Charles Dickens. Without a doubt, Lausanne deserves everyone's attention!

Whether you live there or not, this guide will help you discover unexpected places, hidden stories, and well-kept secrets: a true delight for lovers of interesting strolls enriched with anecdotes.
