La Cité

ArchitectureHistoryHeritageShopping
This is a quarter full of typical small bistros and craft shops. To the north of the Cité hill, at Place du Tunnel, avenue César-Roux avenue and Place de l’Ours, shops and quirky bistros cry out to be discovered. It is around the Cité hill, sculpted by the Flon and Louve rivers, that the mediaeval town grew. Its cobble-stoned pedestrian streets as well as its monuments, the Cathedral of Lausanne, the St-Maire Castle and the Old academy, bear witness to that.

Palud square

HeritageShopping
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 9:00 to 19:00. On Wednesday and Saturday mornings this is the site of the country market, which also sets up shop in the neighbouring pedestrian streets. Every first Friday of the month, it plays host to a craft market. Typical cafes, boutiques and large, elegant shops complement what this high-class district, which is completely pedestrianised, has to offer.

One of the city's benchmarks when it comes to cheese fondue. But that’s not all! The menu at l'Evêché also offers delicious pastas, carbonara, bolognese and Alfredo. In addition, there are brasserie dishes such as entrecôte parisienne de boeuf, roast sausage, perch fillets...

This establishment has been awarded the “ Café historique de Lausanne ” label established by the city of Lausanne in 2021. A café made iconic by its proximity to the Cité’s high school, itself made famous by the book “L’Ogre” (“The Ogre”) by local author Jacques Chessex, Goncourt prize. Practically nothing has changed since 1951. Pettineroli’s paintings have been restored and give the place its character. The shady garden at the back is a popular meeting place on summer days.
