A small idyll on the very edge of Lausanne: the Louis Bourget Park. It is named after a doctor, naturalist and ornithologist who, during his lifetime from 1856 to 1913, campaigned for this spot to be declared a nature reserve.

Ouchy and its lakeside promenade, Lausanne Life feels wonderfully carefree on the Ouchy lakeside promenade. The vastness of the lake, the spaciousness of the boulevards, the calming green of the park areas and the majestic aura of the stately buildings. Just a short trip down from the train station on the vertical metro – and you are right in the middle of this splendor.

Reformed Church Saint-François, Lausanne The Saint-François church in Lausanne, consecrated between 1260 and 1280, is offering a series of events to celebrate its 750th anniversary from January 15, 2022 to December 2022: concerts, tours, conferences, creations, services, and times for exchange are on the program. The heritage of Saint Francis of Assisi is still very present in Lausanne. On the occasion of the 750th anniversary of the consecration of the church built by the Franciscans in Lausanne, the spirit of the «Poverello» still delights a wide audience. Of course, the faithful, but also the many people attracted by the heritage and cultural aspect of the place.

The Alignement mégalithique de Lutry in Switzerland is a fascinating Neolithic megalithic site consisting of 23 menhirs divided into two segments. Discovered in 1984 and reconstructed in 1986, the stones are placed next to each other with almost no gaps, which is unique. Some of the menhirs have human forms and engravings, suggesting that they may have had a ritual function. The largest stones are up to 3 meters high, while others are no higher than 80 cm. This site offers an intriguing insight into the prehistoric culture and rituals of the region.
