Lausanne

 

What is there not to like?

Not too long ago, my husband was sent to IMD Business School to participate in an MBA Executive Program in Lausanne, Switzerland. The program lasted about a week, so I needed to take this opportunity and do a little bit of sightseeing since Lausanne was one of the Swiss regions I really wanted to explore. Because my daughter was in Kindergarten, I couldn’t take the whole week for traveling, so I spent 2 days only to scout and take as many photos as I could for I know that I will visit Lausanne again, during the summer, of course, when it’s not as chilly as it was during my first visit.

 

 

Children’s park right at the harbor. This was icing on the cake! Right on the Ouchy Harbor, we enjoyed an afternoon stroll, played on the playground and rode the Merry-Go-Round! We also saw tons of skateboarders and roller skaters mastering and showing off their latest moves.

We did the boat ride to Évian-les-Bains, France! So worth it during the cold weather, I bet it’s 10’xs better during the summer!

If you happen to be in Switzerland and would like to tour Lake Geneva (Lac Léman) from Lausanne, make sure you contact the Compagnie Générale de Navigation sur Le lac Léman.  There you can purchase the ticket(s) for the ferry service that will take you anywhere you want to go. You can also go to their website www.cgn.ch, or simply call their infoline at +41 (0)848 811 848. Don’t worry, they speak English. (At least when I went.)

The cold couldn’t stop them from finishing their game. Pretty intense.
