Personal comments
Laussane is a city with a lot of possibilites. Cafes as Bleu Lezard, Le Lapin Vert, pubs like Le Troisieme Siecle, Jagger's, Loft, Movida, discoteque like MAD, Amnesia, D! is an example but there is a lot of partys in the residences and organized by the university. The best of lausanne, the lake.
