Hi,
I want to travel from Paris to Lausanne by an overnight coach. Can anyone please recommend me any coach other than Eurolines?
Thanks
Is there any particular reason why you want to travel on an overnight coach?
It's less than 4 hours by train, and prices are quite reasonable if booked in advance. See www.sbb.ch
Thanks for your reply. I want a cheaper option, that's why coach.
Do you know if I can buy any type discount train card to travel from Paris to Lausanne and from there to Geneva?
You can buy train tickets for Paris - Lausanne quite cheaply if you buy them in advance. That is one reason why there aren't that many coaches on the route. There simply isn't the market.
If your final destination is Geneva however there is no need to go to Lausanne first and backtrack to Geneva. There are frequent TGVs from Paris to Geneva too, and they too aren't that expensive when booked sufficiently in advance.
Thanks for the info!
So, one could recognize how long will it take to get there, how far is it from your step, just see the sign board at a street corner To go to any direction, what is allowed to do and what is not allowed, just look at a board at one corner of the street
visit the CAILLER's Chocolate Factory.
For our family, it was one of the highlights in this year trip to Europe! We visited Broc Fabrique from Lausanne (1hr.15min) taking train to Paleziex, change to Bulle, change to Broc Fabrique. Local trains are comfortable and look like trams (1 - 2 cars). Visit to the Caillers Nestle factory is free and includes 20 min. video, 30 min. excursion, free sampling and you can buy their delightful products at the factory's store (about 30% cheaper). (Open Mo 13:30 16, Tu - Fr 9 -11, 13:30 - 16).
If you are in the old town or even from town centre and want to have a delicious chocolate drink, make your way to Le Barbare.
It is halfway up the Escaliers du marché (old rooved stairs leading up to the cathedral), just before you pass under the road.
This place is a typical locals meeting place. It'll attract students and arty types. It's a small cafe that serves a few things to eat. But people mainly come here for their famous home made hot chocolate. It is delicious! Just ask for a "chocolat maison" and enjoy!
We do prepare for our travels, but every place (including the area around the city we live in) hides something that could produce great feeling of surprise and thrill, no matter how solemn our preparations were… That "something" (regarding our travel to Lausanne) was astonishing landscape of the Lavaux Vineyard Terraces.
Quite a long time later we have found out that the Lavaux is the UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007. World Heritage web page gives the following description of the site: "The Lavaux Vineyard Terraces, stretching for about 30 km along the south-facing northern shores of Lake Geneva from the Chateau de Chillon to the eastern outskirts of Lausanne in the Vaud region, cover the lower slopes of the mountainside between the villages and the lake. Although there is some evidence that vines were grown in the area in Roman times, the present vine terraces can be traced back to the 11th century, when Benedictine and Cistercian monasteries controlled the area. It is an outstanding example of a centuries-long interaction between people and their environment, developed to optimize local resources so as to produce a highly valued wine that has always been important to the economy. […] The Lavaux vineyard landscape is an outstanding example that displays centuries of interaction between people and their environment in a very specific and productive way, optimizing the local resources to produce a highly valued wine that was a significant part of the local economy. Its vulnerability in the face of fast-growing urban settlements has prompted protection measures strongly supported by local communities."
We saw the Lavaux Vineyard Terraces from the Geneva Lake. Hopefully, next time we'll have opportunity to take a closer look of Lavaux.
Tour de Sauvabelin – Sauvabelin Tower was built in 2003 using wood cut from local forests. This 35 m high structure, provides a full-circle view over the city, the lake, the mountains and the neighbouring countryside. The view is well worth of the effort of climbing to the top, although we liked the view from the Tower of the Cathedral more.
The Tower is located very near Lac de Sauvabelin – Lake Sauvbelin, just a few minutes of walking to the south, towards the city of Lausanne. In winter the Tower is open from 9 am to 5 pm and in summer from 9 am to 9 pm. When the weather is bad the Tower is closed for security reasons.
