Denantou Park in Lausanne is a place that deeply inspires me as a photographer. Its Thai temple, surrounded by the lake’s tranquillity, creates a magical atmosphere. I like to organise shootings there to capture the unique beauty of the spot, and the proximity to the Olympic Museum adds a fantastic cultural touch!

The grounds are graced by a 16 metre high Thai pavilion, a present from Thailand to the City of Lausanne, where the king lived and studied. The Vuachère River flows serenely by on the outskirts of the park. Near its mouth stands Haldimand Tower, erected in 1823 by the owner of the site at the height of the Romantic period.
