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.

Simply pronouncing that name fills me with joy! A great-quality second-hand bookshop, with so many books you don’t know where to start. For me, two compulsory topics: the “town of Lausanne” bookshelf next to the bookseller’s desk, with old books that give off that lovely aroma of paper, and the “architecture” shelves in the small recess. I can’t wait to go back there!

A paradise for those who want to unearth treasures in the guise of books and who love to get lost among the shelves of topics they’re passionate about. In addition, the shop offers new lives to objects, as it only sells second-hand books. It’s also here you’ll track down specific and hard-to-find titles. Don’t hesitate to ask the bookseller, who’ll be glad to assist you in your quest.
