In the heart of Lausanne, not far from the Place de la Palud, is nestled Madeleine. No, it’s not where my aunt Madeleine lives, but a bookshop café. On one side is the bookshop and on the other the café. The place is timeless. I suggest taking a seat at a table to sip an iced coffee and savour a madeleine (of course!). You’ll be lulled by the surrounding peacefulness created by the pastel touches of the decoration and the soft lounge music in the background.

Madeleine is a unique place that invites to relaxation. Whether it’s to browse the book area, begin the day with a delicious coffee (to be enjoyed with scrumptious madeleines, of course!) or work in peaceful surroundings, Madeleine welcomes you for a delightful moment of escape.
Madeleine has thought of everything, as games are also available for children: everyone is sure to have a good time.
