From 155 CHF
Guided by a Lausanne local, taste five local specialities in establishments steeped in history and anecdotes.

Meet your guide in the historic heart of Lausanne, Place de la Palud, to begin this gourmet tour. The first stop is just a few steps away, at Ferme Vaudoise. This grocery store will welcome you with the famous pâté vaudois and a mineral drink to refresh you during the walk.

Next, follow your guide to Fromagerie Macheret for an irresistible tasting of three Swiss cheeses: the unmissable Gruyère, the creamy Tomme vaudoise and the traditional Tête de moine, which you can carve yourself.

For a hearty meal, head to the legendary Pinte Besson to enjoy the beloved moitié-moitié fondue to share or the suggestion of the moment, accompanied by a glass of chilled Chasselas.

A stone's throw away, Maison Buet awaits you to discover their version of the delicious carac, a pastry easily recognisable by its green icing.

And to finish on a sweet note, hurry to Blondel, master chocolatier since 1850, to pick up your box of 100% Swiss fine chocolates.
