Victoria, the green smoothie
« Lausanne, for me, is a haven of comfort, a small city straight out of a postcard. It’s a city where people live consciously and at a slower rhythm in harmony with nature. Fresh, regional products are accessible to everyone and the mountains, lake and vineyards are only a short distance away. »
My recommendations
One of my favourite places to train out in the open. I love going there at sunset during a summer evening or early in the morning for a cardio session. It’s always quiet and the view over the lake is unbeatable!
Living without producing waste is becoming possible and even easy with the large range of products from Chez Mamie. Here, you’ll find absolutely everything in bulk: cosmetics, tea, flours, grains, spices, oil, soap, etc. and at very reasonable prices. Thanks to them, a sustainable lifestyle is easily accessible to everyone.
My Saturday ritual: I wake up early and walk to the Place de la Riponne to beat the crowd. Before 8 am, I have already bought all my organic and Swiss fruit and veg for the week.
On summer mornings, it’s the ideal spot for a yoga session. La Jetée actually offers classes, but I love going there even before the classes take place, just when the sun is rising and all is calm, the only noise being the water lapping against the rocks.
Dieses kleine Café wird von einer Familie betrieben, die aus Italien stammt. Hier ist alles hausgemacht – und das schmeckt man sofort! Sämtliche Gerichte sind vegan und glutenfrei und werden aus lokalen Bio-Produkten zubereitet. Meine Favoriten sind die Gemüse-Quiche und die Blaubeerplätzchen zum Nachtisch (denn denen kann niemand widerstehen!).
As a freelancer, Sleepy Bear is the perfect refuge for me. I can sit in front of the window with my laptop and work while people come and go around me… and savour my “almond latte”, always prepared to perfection by the owner Diana.
The peerless local small café; Steve and Davide have succeeded in creating a real community. When I want a quiet spot to chat with a girlfriend, we sit on the bench in that charming café with a “dirty oat chai”. There’s nothing more comforting.
