Lausanne Cathedral

HeritageArchitectureHistory

Lausanne's iconic cathedral has towered over the city for more than eight centuries. A masterpiece of Gothic art, it captivates visitors with the harmony of its architecture, the richness of its sculpted details and the serenity it inspires. From its tower, an exceptional panorama opens up over the roofs of the Cité, Lake Geneva and the Alps.

Due to the renovation of the vaults in the south transept, the rose and its stained glass windows will be inaccessible until spring 2027.

At Blondel’s, all the chocolates are made in an artisanal way by a small production team located at Rue de Bourg, just behind the boutique.

The boutique was transformed in 2019 to recreate faithfully the period spirit of the company’s oldest shop at Rue de Bourg.

Anecdote
In March 2015, Blondel Chocolatier welcomed John Kerry – then US Secretary of State during Barack Obama’s presidency – when he came to Lausanne. That visit, in a shop empty of customers for the occasion, has remained in the memories of the members of staff who were there… not to mention the security squad in front of the boutique!
