Since we were expecting slightly warmer temperatures last weekend, we decided on a whim to make a short trip to visit Lausanne.
Lausanne (pronounced as loh-san) is Switzerland’s fifth largest city. This hilly city enjoys a spectacular lakeside location (which we didn’t get a chance to see because we didn’t have enough time). Other must-sees in the city according to my new-found friend, Shinn include heading over to Ouchy to see the Musee Olympique and Lake Geneva, visiting the Eglise Saint-François and for a bird’s eye view of Lausanne – the Lausanne Cathedral.
With only about 2.5 hours in the city, we arrived to a some-what grey Lausanne and did a leisurely walk around the Rue de Bourg and Place de la Plaud where boutiques and shops lined the narrow and hilly streets.
With my fave gal! Check out how we have matching bags with our some-what matching leather outerwear. I didn’t know if the leather jacket was going to keep me warm, so I decided to layer my faux fur-vest over the jacket for good measure.
Then, we took a leisurely walk to visit the Cathedrale de Notre Dame.
My fave pic of the trip where we took a snapshot of our shadows as the sun slowly set behind us.
I guess this marks one of our very last excursions with one of the closest family that we’ve grown rather attached to during our stay here in Geneva.
That is a lovely picture of both of you!
Thanks!
I love Lausanne…much better than “stuffy” Geneva.
Lausanne is really quaint.. wished we had more time to explore the town.
You ladies look fabulous with your Balenciaga bags.
At least you’ll have these good memories & photos to take back with you!
Thanks Jeannie… yup def will have these wonderful memories to take back with us.
Your pictures are just as amazing and beautiful as the city itself! Sure you had a great time there!!
Thanks for your kind words! Yup we did have a good time there.. just wished we had more time.
i love Lausanne! It’s a beautiful city. i definitely second the recommendation for the Olympic Museum. Spend half a day there if u can afford the time…
