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.

Lausanne Cathedral

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.

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.

Long known by local regulars as the Café des Amis, this friendly restaurant has for some years now been renamed the Ristorante Amici. The warm welcome awaiting you is just the same, but the traditional brasserie food of the old days has been replaced by top-class Italian cuisine.

After a career in the best Italian restaurants in Lausanne (Accademia, Saint-Paul), owner Francesco Limardo has now opened his own family restaurant. The dining room seating forty is always full and table reservations are strongly recommended. The menu changes approximately every two months, but there are always carpaccios of beef or fish, fresh pasta and generous desserts. Like in Calabria, citrus fruit is often in evidence, to refresh salty dishes and sharpen the sweetness at the end of the meal.
