From this French-speaking city on the shores of Lake Geneva (or Lac Leman, as the French call it) sit back and gaze across the lake with views on the towering Mont Blanc on the horizon.

Walking is a great way to get around Lausanne so let us take you here on a private transfer from Geneva airport, or splash out on a boat transfer.

There are a number of sites within a short walk in the largely car-free centre, starting with rue du Petit-Chêne, which leads up to Place St François in the old town. Whilst wondering the streets, enjoy the shops' long opening hours and on Saturdays the area becomes a huge farmers' market offering fresh and local produce – a treat for all the senses! For those seeking museums check out the Museum of Design and Contemporary Art or the Museum Cantonal des Beaux-Arts.
