    Beautiful place to have a drink with friends after work. It is quite big so it doesn't get crowded on a normal afternoon. Strongly recommend. FYI there are free public toilets in a decent state.
  • By Jennifer Bou Eid
    Living in Lausanne is one of the best thing I did in my life. Everytime I have free time, I try to visit some new place. Heading to Montbenon was a great idea, chilling in the park while drinking beer and enjoying the view with your friends, It is a must! :)
