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.

Heritage

At the heart of the old town, the majestic Lausanne Cathedral overlooks the city. Seen as one of the most beautiful gothic art monuments in Europe, it attracts more than 400,000 visitors every year.

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.

At Noz Chocolatier, you’ll find a range of chocolate bars with little sugar made from the best cacaos in the world, chocolate shards flavoured with spices, berries or nuts, as well as truffles, pralines with subtle and original ganaches, and a large choice of mini pastries, sweet tortes and cakes.

In 2021, Noz Chocolatier was awarded the gold medal for the first “Caracathon” organised by Lausanne à Table. Since then, the carac (a small sweet tart with a chocolate ganache and a green topping) has become the chocolatier’s flagship product.

In addition to his passion for chocolate, Nicolas Noz is enthusiastic about fairy tales and gives classes at the Maison du Récit (“House of Narration”). Over the years, his wife Anne-Lise has established a network of artisans in Marrakech which whom she works directly by designing products (leather pouches, wooden or metal boxes, ceramics) that they then make, and that Anne-Lise sells filled with chocolates. This enables Noz Chocolatier to offer exclusive creations and to work closely with artisans.
