The second largest city on Lake Geneva, Lausanne is without doubt one of the most desirable destinations in Switzerland in which to rent a holiday home. The picturesque Olympic capital is surrounded with vineyards that ascend into the Alps. The old town is filled with Medieval alleyways and charming boutiques and cafe and the waterfront is spectacular.
Castles and international ballet
Beaulieu Castle is an impressive Chateau that houses the Musee de l'Art Brut, a unique collection of artworks produced by artists in psychiatric clinics and prisons. Meanwhile, the Fondation de l'Hermitage exhibits a changing array of world class artworks dating from the 18th Century.
Bejart Ballet is a world famous centre of ballet that was established here in 1987. Come and witness the magic at performances in June and September. Every January, it hosts the Prix de Lausanne, a worldwide competition for young talent.
Cruises and wine tours
Why not take a cruise on sparkling Lake Geneva? Paddlewheel steamers transport you back to a slower time, while motorboats whizz over the surface with panache. Experience the very best of this famous Lake on a trip to its most picturesque corners. Enjoy dinner accompanied by jazz performances.
You can also take the Train des Vignes thorugh the wine gorwing region of the Laveaux, which overlooks Lake Geneva. Stop in and sample local vintages at the superb wineries from Vevey to Chexbres. These world class wineries also boast spectacular views over the lake.
Festivals of all kinds
During the fast-paced Fete de Lausanne, the town's squares and venues pulse with energy and street parties. Diverse attractions are staged on every corner and the party atmosphere is infectious. The Festival de la Cite in July sees some 120 events take over the narrow streets of the old town. Get involved in the Jazzonze+ Festival in October, which features a packed programme of contemporary jazz.
