Alexandre, the souvenir maker
A great enthusiast of digital creation overall, in life I am a mediamatician reinvented as an Interactive Media Designer. I’ve always been immersed in that world since a very young age and what matters to me is to create, never mind what form that takes. In 2015, I launched my YouTube channel on which I share with my community videos on the theme of Switzerland or my life in general while having fun and doing whatever goes through my mind. A project that has enabled me among other things to take part in several events such as Le Royaume du Web, a festival that brings together many internet talents. Today, I spend most of my time making videos on TikTok, practising music or sharing on Instagram photos of streets and architecture with my own vision, showing places under a different angle to highlight details that wouldn’t be noticed at first glance.
« “Lausanne for me is first and foremost the city where I was born, but also my everyday playing field. With its interesting architecture, its spectacular viewpoints and small shopping streets, it’s a surprising town that offers a great diversity of enjoyments. Not forgetting its gastronomy, festivals, museums and the evenings spent contemplating the sunset by the lake. Everyone gets something out of it!” »
My recommendations
A place that reminds me of Parisian shopping arcades. With those small boutiques and restaurants, the place is bathed in natural light and the floor tiles add that extra touch that is so photogenic.
Lovers of good coffees and teas, this is my favourite place for small extravagances. I always get excellent advice and the choice of products is simply incredible!
Impossible to end my day without a short walk by the Ouchy lakeside. The ideal place to observe a magnificent sunset on the lake with the Alps as a backdrop. I love the atmosphere that emerges from the children at play, skateboarders and other artists.
The city’s small gem. A magnificent staircase that recalls Lausanne during the centuries gone by. The surrounding buildings’ pretty façades give even more appeal to this must-see place. The ascent might seem hard, but it’s worth the effort as when you reach the top, you’re at the foot of the Cathedral and have a beautiful view over the town!
To my mind, it’s the most beautiful panorama! I can’t count the number of times I’ve walked through the vineyards in that breathtaking setting! The best way to unplug and reconnect with nature.
Nostalgic of my trip to New York, I feel I’m back there when I savour one of the many bagels they offer. Good street food just the way I love it with fresh and local ingredients. A shoutout for their homemade iced tea that is excellent.
A place that is as unusual as it is iconic. Located under the arches of the Pont Bessières, I don’t miss a single opportunity to go there and savour a good local beer. Chilled atmosphere guaranteed!
