While I remember Lausanne from my youth, as it is the largest city in Canton Vaud.
and we drove through it frequently, I dont think Ive ever ventured beyond the railway station and the through-roads. What a lovely
town Id been missing! Built on a hillside to better avoid marauding armies traveling the lake shore, this ancient town (yes, dating at least to the Romans, who named it Lousanna) is the fourth-largest city in
Switzerland.
