On Saturday I visited Lausanne for the first time...From Besançon with a car, it only took us about 1 1/2 hours for the 150 km or so of route. Along the country road that passes by the Jura, one of the most striking features is the pasturage on green and manicured fields and cows that reminds me of the cow in Milka Chocolate bars. The crossing of checkpoint was a breeze and before we knew it, we were in Switzerland. For one, the Swiss farms seemed to be very organized and clean compared to their more "natural" looking French cousins...

At Lausanne...
The cathedral...
decorated ceiling of the cathedral...
As Lausanne sits on a hillslope next to Lac Léman, the streets are sloping too, towards the lake...
Cathedrale de Lausanne sits atop a hill overlooking Lac Léman...
a museum in front of the Cathedrale
a fountain at the town square which also functions as a market square on a Saturday...
nice bouquet for 4.80 swiss francs
the town hall
Mushrooms, cultivated and wild selling side by side. Don't look at the price...
a nice harmony of yellow...
tomatoes of all shades...
