　　Until the 15th century, the city’s bishops resided in this lovely manor across from the cathedral (after which it became a jail, then a court, then a hospital). Since 1918 it has devoted itself to evoking Lausanne’s heritage through paintings, drawings, stamps, musical instruments, silverware and so on. Don’t miss the film featuring Lausanne in 1638.

Cathédrale de Notre Dame
Lausanne
　　Lausanne’s Gothic cathedral, Switzerland’s finest, stands proudly at the heart of the Old Town.

Pope Gregory X, in the presence of Rudolph of Habsburg...
