Product Info

✨ Dive into the living history of Lausanne! ✨

My name is Kilian Mégret, and I have been living in Lausanne and its surroundings for 17 years.
I speak French, English, and German, and I love sharing all the fascinating aspects of my city with visitors.
As a frequent traveler, I know how important it is to connect authentically with a place.
I am also an engineer, which allows me to bring a detailed perspective on Lausanne’s infrastructure, architecture, and urban development.

My goal is simple: to help you discover Lausanne as you would with a local friend—through a walk that blends culture, history, anecdotes, and today’s vibrant life.

Small groups (usually 4, max 10)
⏱️ Duration: 2–3 hours, depending on your pace and interests.
Languages: mainly English (French and German available on request).
Meeting point: in front of the Starbucks, Place St-François Lausanne

Together we’ll explore Lausanne’s highlights and hidden gems, such as:
⛪ St. François Square and its church – a lively central hub of the city
️Rue du Bourg & Rue du Rotillon – charming medieval and commercial streets
Rue Centrale & Pont Bessières – a 20th-century street and bridge
Lausanne Cathedral – a Gothic masterpiece with breathtaking views
St-Maire Castle and the Parliament – historic seats of power
Palais de Rumine – a wonderful palace for sciences
⏰ Palud Square & Town Hall – the civic heart with its famous clock
Flon district – modern architecture, street art, and lively culture
(If we have the time) Montbenon Hill – a leisure spot with park, courthouse, and lake views

And if you’d like to continue exploring after the tour, I’ll be happy to share tailored tips such as:
Ouchy Lakeside Promenade – stunning lake and Alpine views
Olympic Museum & Park – a tribute to the Olympic spirit
Sauvabelin Tower – panoramic views from a wooden tower
️Hermitage Foundation – art and gardens in a historic mansion
Lavaux Vineyards (UNESCO) – breathtaking terraces of wine and nature

✨ Let’s explore Lausanne together and create lasting memories! ✨
