This is the place where history and modern life are together; you can find everything you looking for. A lot of small, cheap but tastefull eating places. You can reach by bus or metro from Ouchy or Gare. All the shopping centers in the center of Lausanne, only good by walking.

With its St. François church, a nice place with Starbuck coffee and many shops. There is a bus stop where many buses transit.

It's a rather small space for such a big city. It lacks a little charm, the cathedral is beautiful but they are so many things going on at the same time that you can't really see it. And they are not enough seats to just hang out.
