  • A Summer in Freshwater
    SPRING / SUMMER 2018 - N° 1 ENGLISH FRANÇAIS NICE TO MEET YOU A SUMMER IN FRESHWATER POOLS AND BEACHES With advice from the epicurean writer Roland Jaccard and The Lausanne guide Page 42 recommendations of places to go from blogger Sofia Clara PLATEFORME 10, THE CULTURAL RADIOGRAPHY OF THE THE ARCHITECTURAL SITE OF THE CENTURY CGN FLAGSHIP MODERNISM OF LAUSANNE Page 6 Page 24 Page 36 THE SECRETS OF THE CITY EDITORIAL Linking residents and tourists When it comes to singing the praises of Lausanne, the dulcet tones of a Vaudois accent can’t be beaten. But if you listen, you soon come to understand that people speak many languages there. The city has become internationalised, especially with the impetus of its major universities, its multinationals, and even its Olympic institutions and sports federations. To show off this multiple identity, Lausanne Tourism wanted to create a new kind of welcome magazine which builds a bridge, and sometimes reverses the perspective, between insiders and visitors. The Lausanner is the product of this approach, where points of view, paths and flavours cross like they would in a marketplace. Its name is a nod to the residents of other cities: New Yorker, Londoner, Zuricher. Most of all, it pays homage to how we name the people of Lausanne in German-speaking Switzerland and in the Anglo-Saxon world. Whether you’re from here or somewhere else, a passing guest or a resident, The Lausanner aims to tell you of the city’s history and heritage in an unexpected way. A city that, as noted by the architect Vincent Mangeat (p.

Over the past few years, both the city’s authorities and local business owners have worked hard to capitalise on Lausanne’s incredible shorefront location next to one of the biggest and cleanest lakes in Europe. This year, for example has seen a new beach facility developed in Bellerive outside the Jetée de la Compagnie bar. Another summer development that’s got foodies jumping for joy is a myriad of new artisan ice cream kiosks, many of which are manned by actual Italians with incredibly tasty, closely-guarded recipes. We catch up with a few Lausanne locals, who tip you off on their favourite spots for ice cream (p. 15). Summer is also the season for cultural events, not least the ever-popular Festival de la Cité – organiser Myriam Kridi tells us more later in the issue. The other date to save for this year is the quinquennial Lausanne Jardins event (p. 47). Around 20 landscape projects will be dotted along a route crossing the city from east to west, and will remain in place until 12 October.

  • Best Historic Locations in Lausanne"
    "Best Historic Locations in Lausanne" Created by: Cityseeker 5 Locations Bookmarked Place de la Palud "Right in the Heart of Lausanne" This quaint cobbled stone square is filled not only by the Town Hall but with the wonderfully colored buildings, each with its own window box of geraniums and pastel colored shutters. The square is home to the Fountain of Justice, whose basin dates from 1557 making it the city's oldest. The original Statue of Justice was made in 1585 but is now by Sailko replaced by a copy. Every Wednesday and Saturday morning, a market is held on all surrounding pedestrian streets where you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables. The overall atmosphere of the square is very laid back, making it a good place to relax in the outdoor cafés and restaurants. +41 21 613 7373 place de la Palud, Lausanne Lausanne Cathedral "Lausanne's Pride" Holding a place of pride in the heart of Lausanne's Old Town, this imposing Gothic cathedral soars over a sea of red-roofed buildings. Although the original master mason is undocumented, construction efforts can be traced back to the 12th Century. The structure was completed roughly a century later in 1275 under an engineer named Jean by Bex.Walton Cotereel. It was ordained by three important figures - Pope Gregory X, Rudolph of Habsburg, and Guillaume of Champvent, the then bishop of Lausanne. Its belfry a home to seven sonorant bells, the Lausanne Cathedral's other noteworthy features include an exceptional pipe organ and a stained glass window considered to be one of Europe's finest.
