Parc de Mon-Repos

Parc de Mon-Repos is a historic park in Lausanne arranged across multiple levels that connect an orangerie, aviaries, a neo-Gothic tower, and underground caves. The grounds display varied landscapes with paths that wind through different areas.

The land was once covered with vineyards before being transformed into a pleasure residence in the 18th century. It became known as a setting for cultural performances from that era.

The grounds once drew artists and thinkers seeking refuge from the city's bustle. Visitors can still sense this creative heritage through the gardens and structures that reflect those times.

The park has two playgrounds, public restrooms, and a café for visitors. Multiple walking paths allow you to explore at your own pace, with fish ponds and a swimming pool available for breaks.

The park contains rare tree species, including a giant sequoia near the outdoor theater. This botanical collection reveals the former residents' passion for exotic plants.
