Mon-Repos stands out as one of the most beautiful parks in Lausanne’s historic landscape. It is as attractive for the variety of its architectural fatures (neo-Gothic tower, waterfall, neo-classical temple, orangery, volieres) as for the harmony of its layout and the wealth of archives that trace its history.
Much more than a park, Mon-Repos is a living testimony to the art of landscape gardening that flourished in Europe from the eighteenth century onwards. It reflects an era marked by intellectual effervescence, cultural exchange and the circulation of ideas. To this day, it offers a peaceful refuge in the heart of the city, a place to stroll, reflect or simply relax. A genuine neighbourhood park, it also has number of play areas that are a delight for families.
