LAUSANNE - ARCHITECTURE

A week ago, in my last post about Lausanne, (pronounced "loo-ZANN") you might remember that we were still aound the lakeside in Ouchy (see post 1 & post 2). Well, this time, we are going to take the brand new automatic m2 metro for a short ride (from the Ouchy station to the Grancy one) and then, we are going to climb the steep hills of this great city, in the direction of the upper part of town...

Leaving the lakeside and going in the direction of the Ouchy metro station.
The metro has just arrived.
The Grancy station, close to the train station.Still climbing: Pont Bessière, in town.Bridge & metro line, superposed.
Old house opposite the Cathédrale Notre-Dame, at the top of Lausanne.

  11. J'ai eu la chance de prendre le métro de Lausanne l'autre dimanche. Je suis allée au salon créativa. Une expérience pour moi qui habite dans un petit village bien rustique.
