Louis Bourget Park Beach

Swimming Spot at Parc du Bourget

Highlight • Beach

Located between the Chamberonne and the port of Vidy, this path shared with pedestrians crosses the Bourget park. The path is newly paved and wide, making it very pleasant. The path is slightly protected from the sun thanks to the many trees that line the path. All along there are small isolated pebble beaches ideal for soaking your feet and sunbathing. Be careful not to drive too fast, the route is shared with pedestrians.

Ouverture au Monde Sculpture, Port Lausanne-Ouchy

Highlight • Monument

Ouverture au Monde, Port Lausanne-Ouchy
Angel Duarte - Opening up to the world
Fascinated by mathematics, Duarte created works with strict geometry. But contrary to what one would expect from art and science, his creations are lively and poetic. Located at the entrance to the port of Ouchy, "Ouverture au monde" welcomes sailors and travelers. Its structure, glittering under the rays of the sun, seems to come to life as it reflects the reflections of light on the waters of Lake Geneva.

Port of Ouchy, Lausanne

Highlight • Settlement

The Quai des Savoyards in Lausanne is a beautiful promenade along Lake Geneva. It is a picturesque place where you can walk, relax and enjoy the view of the lake and the Alps. The promenade connects the old port area with the Tour Haldimand, a historic tower that once stood on an island, similar to the Château d'Ouchy from the 12th century. Along the Quai des Savoyards you will also find several large parks, including the Parc du Denantou, with lush lawns and centuries-old trees.

Olympic House

Highlight • Monument

In 1968, with its twelve employees (!), the International Olympic Committee no longer had enough room at the Villa Mon-Repos. The city council graciously offered the IOC the Château de Vidy. A lease was signed on 1 July 1972 “for one Olympiad”, with tacit renewal. The IOC is still the guest of Vidy. Since then, two annexes have been built, and soon there will be another new building with meeting rooms and a restaurant. With its 163 staff members in Vidy, the IOC deserves it!
