Lake Geneva
Lake Geneva is located on the border between Switzerland and France, nestled in a crescent shape among the Alps, with approx. 60% of its waters within Switzerland. The lake is vast and deep, with distant snow-capped peaks reflected in its waters. Terraced vineyards spread out along the shore, and the Lavaux Vineyard Terraces stretch for dozens of km along the lakeside, forming a unique scenic feature of this body of water. Numerous views and landmarks are found along the lakeshore. Built on a rock in the lake, Chillon Castle stands at the eastern end of the lake, with a history dating back to the 11th century. Byron was inspired by the story of the prisoners in the castle to write the long poem "The Prisoner of Chillon." A boat cruise is a classic way to enjoy the panoramic view of the lake, and during the voyage, you can admire the ancient towns, castles, and vineyards on both shores.Saint-Prex · 22.6km from Le Vaud

Peacocks strolling freely through the park are a highly recognizable feature here.

On clear days, it is a great place for walking and picnicking. Large lawns are often left to a flock of sheep to mow, which, along with the peacocks, ancient trees, and international sculptures, creates a delightful scene.

Lausanne is known as the Olympic Capital, and the headquarters of the International Olympic Committee is located in this city. This lakeside green space, covering over 8,000 square meters, is the perfect prelude to visiting The Olympic Museum—it is less of an ordinary park and more of an open-air sports sculpture museum. The park is dotted with over 40 sports-themed sculptures, most of which are gifts to the International Olympic Committee from various national Olympic committees and international sports organizations: the "Cyclists" group sculpture, gifted by Hungary, cleverly uses wheels to form the image of the Olympic rings; the bronze "Athlete Tying His Hair," gifted by Greece, has a prototype that can be traced back to ancient Greek sculptures from the 5th century BC; in addition, there is the rounded "Girl with Ball" by Colombian artist Botero, the "Relay Runner" from Monaco, and a memorial statue of the famous Finnish long-distance runner Nurmi. Artistic styles from different countries converge in this same green space; walking through and viewing them is like flipping through a three-dimensional history of the Olympics.Lausanne · 30.4km from Le Vaud

What travellers say about Le Vaud
yanke17 July 2025
5.0
Lake Geneva, which shares the same name as the city, is very vast, with a sapphire-like color and sparkling in the sun. From Geneva Airport, you can take a train to Nyon, a small town on the shore of Lake Geneva. The hotel rooms there are large, and the lake view rooms also have terraces to enjoy the lake view. The breakfast is very rich and cost-effective. From the dock in Nyon, you can take a boat to the French flower town opposite and experience the fun of crossing two countries in half an hour. The price of the flower town is lower than that of Switzerland, and it is very pleasant to enjoy authentic French food there.

Excellent, definitely worth a visit. This is the most worthwhile place to visit in Lausanne. There are many things to see on the first four floors, especially the basement with its many video game exhibits – definitely worth checking out. The building faces Lake Geneva, making it a great spot for taking photos.
