Our April bucket list
for the year 2025

1
Rediscovering the blossoming cherry trees at Mon-Repos Park

Situated alongside the lake, this magnificent park covering 8000 m2, given to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) by the city council and people of Lausanne, is the cradle of the Olympic Museum, inaugurated in 1993. In the summer months, it’s wonderful to see the region decked out in its prettiest colors thanks to its cherry blossoms!
