Why Lausanne?

Lausanne, The Olympic Capital

Lausanne is the capital and largest city of the Swiss French-speaking canton of Vaud.
Initially a Celtic and Roman settlement on the shores of the lake, Lausanne became a town at the foot of Notre Dame, a cathedral built in the 12th century. In the 20th century, Lausanne became a focus of international sport, hosting the International Olympic Committee (which has recognized the city as the "Olympic Capital" since 1994).
