Take a stroll between the aviaries, stables and orangery (now home to artists' studios), visit the neo-Gothic tower and its waterfall, sit and read at the feet of the giant sequoia, or stop for a bite to eat at the Folie Voltaire...
One of my favourite places in Lausanne is Mon-Repos Park. I grew up in the northern part of town and when I attended Bethusy School, Mon-Repos Park was a sacred spot. It is located close to Rue Marterey and its many excellent restaurants. It was our favourite spot for lunch when the weather was good and our favourite meeting place after classes. I grew up in that park and I still really appreciate it to this day.

Much more than a park, Mon-Repos is a living testimony to the art of landscape gardening that flourished in Europe from the eighteenth century onwards. It reflects an era marked by intellectual effervescence, cultural exchange and the circulation of ideas. To this day, it offers a peaceful refuge in the heart of the city, a place to stroll, reflect or simply relax. A genuine neighbourhood park, it also has number of play areas that are a delight for families.
