Things to do in Lausanne, Canton of Vaud: The Best Nature & Parks
Lausanne was once an intellectual capital, attracting great thinkers such as Rousseau and Voltaire. Today it is a haven for those who love water skiing, swimming and sailing. The International Olympic Committee is even headquartered here. The town's history is evident, though, in its medieval cathedral, the museums of the Palais de Rumine, and Ouchy, the port where Lord Byron wrote "The Prisoner of Chillon" and the Treaty of Lausanne was ratified. For great views, hike up to the Signal de Sauvabelin.

Our first visit to Lausanne, loved it! Stayed just up the hill from Ouchy, at the Royal Savoy, an excellent hotel. The port was our playground for four days, the scenic host to the run course and blue carpet finish for our world champs races, plus a great place to eat and socialise throughout the event. We hopped on a very clean and efficient ferry to Evian on the French side of Lake Geneva which was a superb day out, and loved the fabulous old buildings and character of Ouchy....a memorable break and would love to return!

Loved all the sculptures outside the Musee. A must when walking around Lac Lemand! The museum as a great surprise to us. We weren't even aware that the Olympic Committee is housed here at the Musee.

I stumbled upon this little park. The sculptures at each story location are adorable, and I could see kids making up their own stories without even reading the braille or French at each one. Sure wish there were English translations somewhere. I'm shocked that there wasn't more than just the one review on TA. A perfect little stopover if you're going to be at the Montbenon Esplanade or Brasserie. A nice view of the mountains across the lake from a number of the benches.
