Lausanne’s old shops and cafés

The history of a town is closely linked with its shops and cafés which have served the townspeople for several generations.

When one takes a look at those established for more than a 100 years, it is interesting to see how tastes and customs have changed. We tell you about the history of their founders and their successors.

During the Pinte Besson IMG 0818walk one will see some old cafés, shops, which have kept the same name selling chocolates, clothes, jewellery, tobacco, and some hotels.
