Calendar of markets
The proximity of the countryside, vineyards and also the lake, has encouraged the mushrooming in Lausanne of open-air markets; their local colour brightens up the centre of town and various outlying districts while, in Summer, a Sunday market sets up in Ouchy. A flea market (Place Chauderon), a craft market (Place de la Palud) and a Christmas market (Place de la Riponne).
Annual Market

With the oncoming Christmas festive period, Lausanne is donning all its finery, the lavishly trimmed streets aglow with thousands of lights and colours. Amidst the magic and festivities, several Christmas markets welcome you to the heart of the city and shops are staying open late three evenings, to give you more time to do your Christmas shopping. |
