Lausanne and sustainability

Milan Park: Tipps der Realsousgare

The Milan Park botanical garden is a small island of diversity in which to take refuge, far from shopping malls and the noise of the town. Simply listening to the sounds of frogs and bees feels like a regeneration.

City Centre Market: Tipps der Victoria

My Saturday ritual: I wake up early and walk to the Place de la Riponne to beat the crowd. Before 8 am, I have already bought all my organic and Swiss fruit and veg for the week.

Rovéréaz Farm: Tipps der Carla

Located right on the border between city and countryside, Rovéréaz Farm offers us a variety of products (fruit, vegetables, oils, cheese, honey, cured meats, eggs...), and everything is fresh and seasonal, of course! I invite you to take a look at their outstanding permaculture programme that combines both cooperative and educational approaches.

Cocooning biocosmetics: Tipps der Sabine

The best 100% Swiss brand of natural cosmetics. Bars of soap smelling absolutely delicious, dry hydrating oils bewitchingly perfumed and, in keeping with 2020, verbena sanitizing gels which do not dry one’s hands.

Le Fraisier: Tipps der Charlotte

Le Fraisier is a fantastic culinary discovery in Lausanne. Veggie meals made from fresh products at lunchtime during the week, and a gorgeous vintage décor. I just love it. A delight for the eyes and taste buds!

Naturéum - Botanical garden: Tipps der Victor

Lausanne happens to be a very green city, full of parks and surrounded by nature, but if you would like something more exotic, I recommend visiting the botanical garden in Milan Park, and more specifically the greenhouse. What with a hundred or so different exotic species, the small greenhouse transports us elsewhere. A table is even available on the first floor in case you’d like to stay despite the heat.

Fripsquare: Tipps der Luana

Fripsquare is the expression of a generation split between its love of the latest trends and its environmental conscience. It’s a concept that promotes sharing, exchanges and responsible consumption in the area of fashion. Located for a long time in a former taxi booth in the area below the train station, the thrift shop has recently moved to Chemin de la Joliette 5, where it offers not only second-hand clothes in excellent condition, but now also a coffee shop going by the same name.

Café de Grancy: Tipps der Madina

This café is located in the heart of the neighbourhood and for good reasons: a friendly atmosphere as well as its refined cuisine that highlights authentic flavours, prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Don’t hesitate to go there, whether for brunch, lunch or dinner.
