Le Mécanoscriptophile

Where?
Le Mécanoscriptophile

Drinking tea to the sound of typewriters, whilst having the chance to try them out: such is the quirky experience offered by this cultural café. In the warmer months, you can enjoy drinks and homemade pastries on a shaded terrace, nestled right in the city centre. 

 That little extra from the food insider “Lila”: Make the most of your visit and check out the Typewriter Museum at the back – it’s well worth a visit. 

Favourite dish: Homemade orange blossom kefir, served with rice pudding.

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.
