Lausanne-Ouchy

In a country of spectacular natural beauty it is the most beautiful of cities, Switzerland’s San Francisco, a city of incredibly steep hills that has developed above the lakes. View of blue water, glittering sunlight & view of white capped Savoy Alps peep through the tourist busy city called Lausanne.
Much of the city is still wooded, there are plenty of parks, and the tree-lined lakefront, beds of vibrantly colourful flowers.
As if Lausanne weren’t relaxed enough already, it has Ouchy as a lakeside terrace on which u can enjoy the mountain views and fresh breezes. Officially a separate commune from Lausanne, Ouchy for years survived as a fishing port, but these days it’s become one of the more chic of the Swiss lakeside resorts with waterfront cafés abounding. Lausanne’s much-touted flagship Musée Olympique is close to this place. A visit to the museum is like going back in time to see the history of the museum. A trip to Evian(France) is the best from here with nice views.
