My first Sunday in Lausanne (2/4/2006), was a brilliant sunny day, really welcoming! After buying the Sunday Times from the station I went off to explore St Francois, the town centre, only to discover that Starbucks was the only place open on Sundays. Lausanne literally does close down completely on Sundays! So after a large latte I headed back to the station, reviewed the departures board and picked Montreux as my destination. My first Sunday lunch as a resident in Switzerland would be the home of Freddie Mercury and the famous Jazz festival and it was only 20 minutes down the tracks.   more »
