Discovering Lausanne one weekend at a time

Posted on August 4, 2013 By admin

Every weekend, we try and go walkies in town. We’ve managed to discover lots of interesting places, like the market on Place du Palud where I found my jalapeno peppers and the terroir shop and the gelato and tea shops near Bessieres. There’s also the little oil shop and cafe Coccinelle near Flon. Today, we discovered that if we walk in the pedestrian area in Bessieres, we end up on place St-Francois. Along the way, we pass in front of Blondel, a chocolaterie that’s been open since the 1850s, and Bucherer, a watch and jewellery store that’s not much younger.

One of our two favourite Italian restaurants

We have found two Italian restaurants in town where, not only can I eat stuff, but where I can actually stuff myself silly on really good food! This one is a pizzeria where (gasp!) they don’t put garlic in the tomato sauce. I shared Katy’s bresaola, rocket and parmesan pizza today. Bean always charms the server dude that is always working on the days we happen to go by telling him in incredible detail what he wants to eat and how it needs to be cooked :-)

Wish I knew what this was

At the Flon metro stop, there are LCD publicity screens. Interspersed between the various adverts are clips of this guy, usually in weird or funny situations. I have no idea who or what he is, but I like him :-)
