Lausanne, Montreux and Genève
Weekend 2004
Fri 9th to Sun 11th July 2004
|
|
This is THE event for discovering Suisse Romande. Two full
days, three cities, a beautiful lake and -of course- lots of fun!
Come and discover Genève, the city of international organizations;
Lausanne, the Olympic Capital; and Montreux, Switzerland's Monte-Carlo.
Programme
We'll meet in Lausanne, at the main railway station's meeting point (in the main hall) on Friday 9th July at 21:40.
| Friday 9th July |
|
After dropping off your bags at the hostel, we will spend the night at the
Festival de la Cité. This is a free and great event happening in many places
in the heart of Lausanne. You will find many styles of music, and also
dance, theatre, and cinema.

| Saturday 10th July |
|
After breakfast at the hostel, we'll go on a guided tour of Lausanne (approx.
2 hour-walk). You'll see the old town, the castle, the cathedral, and many others.
After a picnic on the lakeside, we'll visit the Olympic Museum.
In the evening, we'll leave for Montreux. After a short walk in the city, you
can freely enjoy the night at the Montreux Jazz Festival. This is a
world-famous event, with of course big stars and expensive concerts. But mostly,
there are less known (but very good) artists and bands playing in the streets.
You may then have dinner at the food stands.

After breakfast at the hostel, we'll travel to Genève. There, we'll have
a guided tour through the United Nation's Palais des Nations. After a picnic on
the lakeside with a great view on the Jet d'eau (water jet), we'll have a walk
through the old town.
In the evening, we'll go back to Lausanne, for picking up your bags from the
hostel.
