On Geneva lake’s banks -the biggest lake (and probably the most famous) in central Europe- Lausanne has held since ancient times a strategic position in cultural, trading and touristic exchanges between the north and the south of the continent. Located among vineyards and pineforests, surrounded on all sides by nature, this is one of the greenest cities in Switzerland and it is said to be one of the most beautiful landscapes in Europe. A human-size city, warm and welcoming, where conviviality/social interaction and communication are still possible. One of these places where we can enjoy a perfect harmony between modern life and nature. Along with its sense of hospitality, its natural beauty, its entertainement parks, its festivities, its museums and its cultural events, Lausanne has always something to offer to its visitors. On the one hand the historical centre’s quietness with its beautiful gothique cathedral from the 18th century, is an invitation to wander in the cobblestoned streets, among the beautiful stores, the handcraftmen, the cafés and bars. On the other hand the modern city offers all the convienences of a capital city with important business, social and cultural activities. Easily accessible by any means of transport : by car, trains, buses, plane and even by boat ( from the Geneva lake), Lausanne is close to numerous famous touristic places in Switzerland such as Geneva, Monteux and the Chillon castle, Zermatt and the Matterhorn, the Jungfrau, Luzerne, the historical city of Gruyères, Diablerets’ galcier, and in France, the Mount Blanc and Chamonix’s big ski resort. Moreover Lausanne, as the headquarters of the International Olympic Committee, is a spaorty city above all else which offers every variation on sport : rowing, swimming, tennis, golf, horse-riding, skating, cross-country skiing, etc... as well as countless cycling and walking and hiking itineraries.
With so many assets, Lausanne is the place to study French in Switzerland. |
