Pedestrian areas
Cathédrale de Lausanne 1
Perched at the top of the hill in the Cité, this 13th-century
Gothic structure dominates the centre of the city. The
Cathedral, the biggest in Switzerland, has some notable
features: a painted portal, a true masterpiece of Gothic
sculpture, a rose window comprising 105 panels recounting the history of the medieval world and an impressive
organ boasting 7,000 pipes dating back to 2003.
(Cf. walk A)
Musée historique 2
Situated next to the Cathedral and built
in successive stages between the 11th
and the 15th century, the former Bishop’s
Palace houses the Lausanne History
Museum today. Until the 15th century, it
was the residence of bishops before they
chose to move to Château Saint-Maire, at
the other end of the Cité.
Major Davel
Château Saint-Maire 3
Constructed at the beginning of the 15th century, this
chateau was originally the Bishop’s Palace. Between
1536 and 1798, under Bernese rule, it subsequently
became the residence of the bailiffs. Today it is the home
of the Conseil d’Etat (State Council), which governs the
Canton of Vaud. Like the Cathedral, this monument is
built of molasse, a stone
composed of sand aggregates. However, the upper
section is made of red
brick in a style reminiscent of northern Italy and
also to be seen in others
of the region’s chateaux.
4
Standing against the façade of Château Saint-Maire is the statue
of Major Davel, one of the heroes of local history. At the start of
the 18th century, this Vaudois patriot
attempted to liberate the region of
Vaud, which at that time was held
by the Bernese. Betrayed by his own
people, he was executed in Vidy, on
the shores of Lake Geneva.

Ancienne Académie 5
Built in the middle of the 16th century, the Ancienne
Académie housed Europe’s first college of Protestant
and French theology, then the University between
1890 and 1987. Today it is used for educational courses
prior to university entrance. To fully appreciate the
scale of this vast building, it is advisable to cross the
minor André-Bonnard Place (situated in the middle of
the Rue Cité-Devant, level with a pretty fountain), then
turn left.
Bus no. 13, Mon-Repos stop
Escaliers du Marché 6
The covered flight of steps leading from the Place de
la Palud to the Cathedral
is surely one of the most
picturesque spots in the
town centre. Built in the
13th century to link the
town’s two markets in
the Middle Ages, these
steps are bordered by
terraced buildings dating
back to the 16th century.
Parc Mon-Repos
7
Filled with magnificent trees, this peaceful area
of greenery at the heart of the
town belonged to a succession
of local dignitaries in the 18th
and 19th centuries. The lower
section contains the beautiful
Mon-Repos Villa, the former
residence of Baron Pierre
de Coubertin, founder of the
Olympic Movement. Former
stables and an aviary of exotic
birds are also situated nearby.
In the middle of the 18th century, amateur performers staged Voltaire’s plays
in the presence of the author. (Cf. walk B)
Tribunal fédéral and its grounds 8
Situated in the upper section of Parc Mon-Repos, the imposing neoclassical Federal
Tribunal was inaugurated in 1927. In the grounds, hidden among the vegetation, are
a few 19th-century structures inspired by the Romantic concept of English gardens: a
neo-Gothic tower leading to a small waterfall and a grotto, a neoclassical temple offering a lovely view of Lake Geneva and the mountains, and an old orangerie partly
constructed of elegant yellow Jura limestone.
09
Did you know…?
The Cathedral’s bell tower is home to a
mysterious character whose cry of “all’s
well” can be heard every night between
the hours of 10 pm and 2 am. This is the
Cathedral’s famous night watchman, who is
carrying on an old tradition handed down
over more than 600 years. In the Middle
Ages, the watchman’s job was to raise the
alarm in the event of fire, the majority of
the town’s houses being made of wood.
A
Walks
It is pleasant to stroll along the peaceful
alleys of the historic Cité quarter. The
same stone is used for buildings and street
paving, giving the area a highly pleasing
aesthetic quality.
B
Parc Mon-Repos has several interesting features spread around its grounds. Places to
be explored on foot, in a good half-hour, by
following a series of paths and trails. To be
seen in the lower section: mansion house,
majestic trees, aviaries, old stables, statues,
romantic lawns... In the upper section: tower,
grotto, columned structure, old orangerie…

Pedestrian areas
Rue de Bourg
Until the beginning of the 19th century, the Rue de
1
Bourg, which is a pedestrian zone today, was one of
the main thoroughfares of old Lausanne. In those days the town only extended over
three hills, those of Cité, Saint-Laurent and Bourg. Being mainly occupied by patrician
families, this street was an elegant and sophisticated meeting place. If you look up,
you will see the town’s loveliest group of 17th- and 18th-century houses. Today, this
street is popular with keen shoppers.
Place de la Palud 3
Place and Eglise 2
Saint-François
This central town square is surrounded by
impressive buildings which today house
banks, post office and shops. In the middle of
the square is the 13th-century Saint-François
Church with its elegant bell tower, built two
centuries later. The church initially stood next
to a Franciscan convent (hence the name).
Palais de Rumine
4
The Rumine family, descended from the Russian aristocracy, wanted to find a special
way of thanking the town for its hospitality. It made a donation enabling this huge
Florentine-style building to
be erected on the Place de la
Riponne a century ago. This
building currently houses
the Cantonal Museum of Fine
Arts, along with several natural science museums.
At the junction of several pedestrian streets, this square
is one of the town’s central locations. This is where you
will find the 17th-century Town Hall, with its typically
Vaudois roof, arcades and Renaissance façade decorated
with two copper gargoyles in the form of dragons. 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 am to
7 pm. On Wednesday and
Saturday mornings this is the site of the country market,
which also sets up shop in the neighbouring pedestrian
streets. (Cf. walk A)
Buses nos. 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 17, Bel-Air stop

Eglise Saint-Laurent 5
Situated at the heart of a vast network of pedestrian and shopping
streets, this building made of molasse
was constructed in its present form in
the 18th century. However, mention
was first made of the existence of a
church in this spot ten centuries ago.
Its façade, adorned with a beautiful
clock, is a rare example of Baroque
architecture in Lausanne.

Tour Bel-Air and Salle Métropole
6
Built in 1932 by Alphonse Laverrière, Bel-Air Tower was based on the American model (with a metal framework covered in stone). Standing at a height of
55 metres, this was one of Switzerland’s first “skyscrapers”. At the time, many
Lausanne residents were opposed to its construction, claiming that its size would
compete with that of their beloved Cathedral. The Salle Métropole situated at
the foot of the tower has welcomed numerous stars since the 1930s, including
dancer Josephine Baker and trumpeter Louis Armstrong. Many shows are still
held there throughout the year.

Flon district
8
Dating back to the 14th century, this
tower is the last vestige of Lausanne’s old
city walls, mostly destroyed during the
18th century. Standing some 20 metres
high, it is in very close proximity to blocks
of flats today. A century ago, it served the
unusual purpose of a pig slaughterhouse.
Buses nos. 12, 16, 66,
Montbenon stop
This quarter at the heart of Lausanne has undergone continuous transformation
over the last few years to become one of the town’s showcase districts, particularly for its nightlife. A few decades ago, the place was still full of warehouses
storing goods that arrived via a metro system by train or boat. The “carriage
track” that still crosses many sections of this quarter is a reminder of that era,
even if the rails have long since disappeared.
Esplanade de Montbenon, Casino and Tribunal
9
At the very heart of the city, the Esplanade de Montbenon
offers exceptional views over Lake Geneva and the mountains, all in an idyllic natural setting. Two regal buildings
are the crowning glory of this esplanade: the Casino de
Montbenon, famous as the home of the Swiss Film Archive,
and the impressive Renaissance-style Palais de Justice.
(Cf. walk B)
13
Did you know…?
Situated at the start of the Rue de l’Ale, the
Pinte Besson is the oldest bistro in Lausanne,
in business since 1780. Its vaulted interior and
wood furnishings make it a most welcoming
place. Whilst there, you can try the famous
“topettes” of regional wines.
Walks
B
A
The town centre’s many pedestrian and shopping alleyways between Place Saint-François
and Place de la Riponne are conducive to a
leisurely stroll. Look upwards to appreciate
the full glory of the traditional tall buildings.
Situated on a sort of ridge, the Esplanade
de Montbenon is a peaceful spot where it is
pleasant to walk amongst extensive lawns
and flowerbeds against a backdrop of lake
and mountains. Some nice detours will take
you in just a few minutes to the Flon district,
on the one hand, and the railway station, on
the other.

a project dating from the end of
the 19th century to create a vast
thoroughfare along the lines
of the Parisian boulevards. This
ambitious initiative was quickly abandoned but, if you look at how far the oldest
remaining houses (situated opposite the m2 metro
stop) are set back from the road, you can gain an
idea of its original breadth.
Gare de Lausanne 8
Owing to the quite distinct
topography of the city,
Lausanne’s first station
was constructed outside
its walls in 1856, amidst
the vines (which back then
spread out from Place
Saint-François to Ouchy)!
The present building, at the heart of the city today, was
built almost a century ago, inspired by Leipzig station
(Germany).
Buses nos. 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 12, 17, Georgette stop
Beautiful buildings:
Synagogue and old hotels 9
The Synagogue was constructed in 1910 thanks to a Jewish patron from Bordeaux (France), who
wished to express his gratitude to the Swiss for welcoming the Bourbaki Army in 1870. Not far away,
in Avenue des Alpes and Avenue d’Evian, are three lovely buildings, former hotels converted back to
residential accommodation, which enjoy stunning lake views and bear witness to the elegant architecture of the late 19th century.
17
Did you know…?
The port of Ouchy, opposite the “Ouchy” m2 metro stop, has a boat unique among its kind. This
is La Vaudoise, the last flat-bottomed barque with Latin sails constructed (in 1932) for the transport of goods such as stone, gravel, sand, wood…
Walks
A
It is possible to set off from The
Olympic Museum (via a passage
that starts on your right when
looking at the lake) and arrive,
in less than ten minutes, at the
Musée de l’Elysée, devoted to photography, and its superb gardens.
B
Set off from the mouth of the Vuachère
and enjoy the natural untamed beauty of
this river for a few kilometres by following a path marked out by fox footprints
(“Sur les traces du Renard” leaflet available at Lausanne Tourisme).

Bus no. 2, Bellerive stop
Piscine de Bellerive 1
Built in the 1930s, this swimming pool on the shores of
Lake Geneva, between Ouchy and Vidy, has lawns as far
as the eye can see. The design of the facility accurately
reflects the era’s awareness of the issue of hygiene.
Keen swimmers can choose from an Olympic pool, diving boards, a non-swimmers’ pool, a paddling pool and
lakeside beaches.

P’tit train de Vidy
2
This train for small (and big) children
chugs along the shores of the lake between
lawns and pine forests. It was brought
into service in 1964 when the National
Exhibition was being held in Lausanne.
Major embankment works were carried
out on the shores of the lake at the time. In
fact, the route now taken by the miniature
train used to be part of… the lake.
Vidy green zone and beaches 3
At the entrance to the city, the vast recreational zone of
Vidy spans the shores of Lake Geneva, providing sheer
enjoyment for lovers of nature and fresh air. Long sandy
beaches are lined by wide areas of grass, dotted with
beautiful trees. There is also a yachting resort, a string
of waterside bars and restaurants, the famous Théâtre de
Vidy-Lausanne, numerous sports facilities (beach volleyball court, minigolf, skate park…) and even a bird reserve
graced with a romantic pond. (Cf. walks A and B)

Musée romain de Lausanne-Vidy and ruins 4
This museum retraces the history of Roman settlement in Lausanne, from
the end of the 1st century BC to the 4th century AD. At the time, Lausanne
was Lousonna, a city of between 1,500 and 2,000 people on the shores of
Lake Geneva. It was in a strategic location in terms of road and maritime
transport. Not far from the museum you can explore the quite considerable
ruins of the forum, which lay at the heart of this ancient city.

Château de Vidy 5
Château de Vidy, the headquarters of the International
Olympic Committee today, is a stately home built in
the 18th century. At the time, Lausanne had some thirty
“campagnes” like this one in Vidy. These were vast country estates belonging to prominent people who would
build a mansion house with an adjoining farm, all surrounded by orchards, meadows, fields and leisure parks.
Several of these “campagnes” are still well preserved
today and have become pleasant public amenities
(Hermitage, Mon-Repos, Denantou, Valency…).

This cemetery was designed
in the 1920s by one of the
region’s famous architects,
Alphonse Laverrière, who is
also responsible for Bel-Air
Tower and the present-day
railway station. With its Italian gardens, this site, which
now numbers 25,000 tombs
and crypts, was also planned
as a place for walks. Coco
Chanel, internationally famous fashion and perfume
designer, is laid to rest here, as is Baron Pierre de
Coubertin, the moderniser of the Olympic Games.

The Hautes Ecoles (higher education institutions) bask in an idyllic
setting beside Lake Geneva. The Dorigny university campus houses UNIL and EPFL (one of two Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology) side by side. It’s numbers 31,000 students and staff, almost
10% of Lausanne’s total population. Château de Dorigny and its
outbuildings remain at the heart of the campus, together with a
lovely country park, which features a majestic avenue of plane
trees leading to the lake.
21
Did you know…?
Situated just below the railway lines, there is a
unique feature at the top of Languedoc hill: a
vineyard in the middle of town! The small adjacent
public park provides poetic, panoramic views over
Lake Geneva and the mountains. This vineyard is
there as a reminder that the City of Lausanne in the
19th century was one of the region’s most important
wine-growing communes, with the lower section
covered in vineyards from the Place Saint-François
to the edge of the lake.
B
Walks
A
It is possible to take the “Sports Trail”
through the green zone of Vidy. This route is
a 4-kilometre loop on the flat and is marked
out on the ground in the colours of the
Olympic rings. Along this trail, 22 markers
explain the history of the Olympic Games
and of sport in Lausanne . There are several
departure points, the minigolf or the IOC
headquarters among them.
Good walkers can leave the green zone of
Vidy and reach the town of Morges along
the shores of the lake. Around 10 kilometres in length, this route on the flat will take
you past the village of Saint-Sulpice, the natural beauty of the mouth of the Venoge and
the sandy beaches of Préverenges to the
town of Morges. You can return to Lausanne
by boat or train.

Bus no. 16, Lac de Sauvabelin stop
Sauvabelin forest
1
Lausanne is fortunate enough to have a real green lung of over 50 hectares at the heart of the city. This
vast leafy forest, including a small lake and a wooden tower, is mostly made up of beech and oak trees.
Some of the trees are more than 100 years old and are home to several species of birds such as the owl,
as well as a large colony of bats. (Cf. walks A and B)
Lac de Sauvabelin 2
Tour de Sauvabelin 3
Created in 1888, this little artificial lake
nestles amidst lovely greenery in the middle of the forest. The people of Lausanne
have gone skating there in the winter for
many decades. These days, during the high
season, you can take a pleasant boat ride
then have something to eat and drink by
the water’s edge; not to mention the animal park with endangered native species:
booted goat, woolly pig, Rhaetian cattle…
Erected in 2003, this wooden tower soars above the
surrounding treetops to provide breathtaking 360°
panoramic views over the city, Lake Geneva, the
mountain ranges of the Alps and the Jura, and the neighbouring countryside. Standing
35 metres high, it is constructed
from wood sourced from the
city’s forests alone. Its spiral
staircase is designed along the
same lines as those in Château
de Chambord (France), conceived
by Leonardo da Vinci.

Bus no. 16, Vivarium stop
Vivarium 4
There is a rather unusual museum on
the edge of Sauvabelin forest, entirely
given over to reptiles. Snakes, lizards,
bird spiders, crocodiles, tortoises… can
be viewed in conditions akin to their
natural habitat. The central theme is the
astonishing diversity of these creatures.

Bus no. 16, Hermitage stop
Campagne and Musée
de l’Hermitage 5
This property was occupied by the Bugnion banking family from the middle of the 19th century
until 1976. This charming “campagne” is the best
preserved one in the city, and you will find a mansion house, a farm, an English garden and an orchard. The former mansion house now accommodates an art museum of international renown run
by the Hermitage Foundation; with views spanning the old town, the lake and the mountains, the
setting is absolutely idyllic.
The Vaudois University Hospital Centre comprises
several buildings, of which the main one, overlooking a good part of the town, was built in 1982.
At the leading edge of research in many fields,
this cantonal hospital employs more than 9,000
professionals and regularly hosts major medical
conventions.
25
Did you know…?
Close to Château Saint-Maire, in the Place
de la Barre, there is a fountain whose water has the unusual distinction of being cold
all year round. This water partly originates
from a source in the Prealps, over 50 kilometres away from Lausanne! As the town
developed a little over a century ago, prealpine sources such as these were tapped
and brought to Lausanne to ensure supplies
of drinking water.
A
Walks
It is possible to go around the lake in about ten
minutes. It is a poetic spot with its ancient oak
trees along the banks, its enclosures housing
indigenous species and its boats which, in high
season, allow you to row with the current.
B
It is a good half-hour’s very pleasant walk
downhill to the town centre or the Cité district
from Lac de Sauvabelin, passing through the
bucolic Campagne de l’Hermitage. To do this,
simply follow the yellow signs from the Via
Jacobi (itinerary no. 4 in “La Suisse à pied”).

Situated to the east of Lausanne, this medieval market town on the shores of Lake Geneva is a maze of
charming little streets and inner courtyards in the shadow of pretty buildings: chateau, churches, towers…
The village centre is also home to art galleries, shops and specialist stores. It is a short walk to the quays,
where it is nice to take a stroll past the
welcoming terraces. Outside the village,
vineyards cover a large part of the commune; these terraces, which feature pretty
hamlets such as Le Châtelard and Savuit,
are the start of the Lavaux vineyard, a
UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Saint-Sulpice
Metro m1, UNIL-Sorge stop, then
bus no. 31 Saint-Sulpice stop
Situated to the west of Lausanne, this residential district elegantly spans the shores of Lake Geneva.
One after the other, several areas of greenery provide stunning glimpses not only of this vast body
of water framed by mountains, but also of the Lausanne metropolitan area and the famous Lavaux
vineyard. Close to the shores, a Romanesque church
set in extensive grounds reveals its charms. Built by
monks almost 1,000 years ago, it is part of Clunisian
tradition and has a chancel decorated with frescoes.
At the far end of the commune, near to some sports
grounds, the sandy beaches of Le Laviau will delight
keen swimmers.
Walk
From the Romanesque church (below the “Saint-Sulpice”
stop on bus route no. 31), it is possible to walk along the
shores of the lake for several kilometres towards Morges
on scenic paths leading to the mouth of the Venoge past
the wild beaches of Le Laviau.

Bus no. 17, Buyère or Cocagne stop
Train, Bussigny stop
Situated to the west of Lausanne, not far from an important zone of commercial and craft enterprises,
this commune marks the border between town and country. Made up of tastefully restored former rural
residences, the heart of the village has retained a peaceful aspect. A church with an esplanade lined with
chestnut, maple and plane trees sits perched on a mound.
There are pleasant views over the surrounding area, particularly looking downwards towards the line of trees through
which the famous Venoge river lazily meanders. This commune owns nearly 100 hectares of forest, proof of its
proximity to the countryside.
Walk
The serene Venoge river flows below the railway station.
It is possible to walk in a loop for a good half-hour by
following the river, then a canal. For a longer walk, simply
follow this watercourse in a downhill direction.
Chavannes
-près-Renens
Metro m1, UNIL-Mouline stop
Bus no. 31, Chavannes-Plaine stop
Situated to the west of Lausanne, this commune is skirted by two rivers, the Mèbre and the Sorge, which
enclose the sports grounds where football and rugby matches are played at weekends. Most of the
properties here are of manageable proportions, with some of bigger dimensions, and this commune was
until 1974 the site of the Villars-Perrier chocolate factories, which produced the famous “têtes au choco”.
Since then these premises have been occupied by numerous craft workers and artists, making it one of the
biggest concentrations of activities of this kind assembled on
one site between Paris and Rome!
Walk
From the m1 “UNIL-Mouline” metro stop, it is possible
to reach the numerous sports grounds with the Sorge
river flowing close by. This gentle half-hour stroll by the
water’s edge takes you along a picturesque route to the
m1 “Cerisaie” metro stop.
32
Crissier
Buses nos. 18, 54, 56, Crissier-Centre stop
Situated to the west of Lausanne, not far from an important zone of commercial and craft enterprises,
this village of manageable dimensions is a little haven of peace arranged around the Place FredyGirardet, inaugurated in 1998, a short while
after the retirement of the famous restaurateur. In this square, the prestigious gourmet
restaurant has been taken over with gusto
by Benoît Violier, who succeeded Philippe
Rochat in 2012. Mainly comprising renovated farms and small premises, the heights
above the village have an extensive area
of greenery, the Montassé festival ground,
particularly appreciated by picnickers.
Walk
From the “Bré” stop on bus route no. 18 (near the village centre), an attractive 4-kilometre looped trail along
the “Waterfall walk”, marked by brown signs, leads to the
discovery of a wild valley created by the Mèbre river.
Ecublens
Metro m1, Cerisaie stop
Bus no. 33, Pontet stop
Situated to the west of Lausanne, this little town extends around a vast plain enclosed by
several long ridges, the moraines of the former Rhone glacier. The old main village of Le Motty has
impressive renovated farms and, being built on one
of these moraines, commands panoramic views
of the surroundings. At the foot of this ridge, the
charming rural hamlet of Renges is a reminder of
the importance, both past and present, of market
gardening in the region. Not far from here flows the
serene Venoge, a river symbolic of the Vaudois and
glorified by the poet-singer Jean Villard-Gilles.
Walk
Below the rural hamlet of Renges (served by
bus route no. 33), follow the romantic meanderings of the Venoge river amidst beautiful
woods. You can actually reach the mouth of
the river in one hour.
33
Romanel-sur-Lausanne
LEB, Romanel stop
Situated to the northwest of Lausanne, this commune marks the border between town and country. The
heart of the village is comprised of former rural residences around which are spread several peaceful districts, more recently built. On the outskirts of the
communal land there are still some farms, market
gardens and forestry activities. Public transport – the
LEB train line, also known as the “Brouette” – means
that Romanel-sur-Lausanne can be reached from
Lausanne-Flon in just over 10 minutes.
Walk
From Romanel-sur-Lausanne LEB station, follow the yellow signs of “Tourisme Pédestre” to reach
Vernand-Dessous forest in half an hour, where you will discover the “Pierre à Cambot”, a 50m³ rock! Around
20,000 years ago, this boulder was carried here by the Rhone glacier, which covered the entire region at
the time. Boulders were the first natural elements to be protected in Switzerland (1868 for the “Pierre à
Cambot”); these hard rocks were used for construction, to the great displeasure of contemporary geologists who considered them to be of environmental interest.
