Palud square

HeritageShopping

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 9:00 to 19:00. On Wednesday and Saturday mornings this is the site of the country market, which also sets up shop in the neighbouring pedestrian streets. Every first Friday of the month, it plays host to a craft market. Typical cafes, boutiques and large, elegant shops complement what this high-class district, which is completely pedestrianised, has to offer.

La Cité

ArchitectureHistoryHeritageShopping

This is a quarter full of typical small bistros and craft shops. To the north of the Cité hill, at Place du Tunnel, avenue César-Roux avenue and Place de l’Ours, shops and quirky bistros cry out to be discovered. It is around the Cité hill, sculpted by the Flon and Louve rivers, that the mediaeval town grew. Its cobble-stoned pedestrian streets as well as its monuments, the Cathedral of Lausanne, the St-Maire Castle and the Old academy, bear witness to that.

Lausanne Cathedral

Heritage

At the heart of the old town, the majestic Lausanne Cathedral overlooks the city. Seen as one of the most beautiful gothic art monuments in Europe, it attracts more than 400,000 visitors every year.

Its five restaurants are among the most renowned of the city and will satisfy every taste. The most sophisticated, La Table du Lausanne Palace – headed by Chef Franck Pelux – has been awarded 16/20 points by GaultMillau and 1 Michelin star. Le Côté Jardin will delight anyone with its impressive buffet of starters and desserts, and its grills during the summer season.

The Spa is the most relaxing location in the city centre, and will release all your tension with its treatments, massages and therapies.

Two bars provide the setting for some of the best evenings out in Lausanne.

There is no finer setting in the city centre for private functions and professional meetings, with 14 conference rooms and fully-equipped meeting rooms available to meet every need.
