Nightlife of Lausanne
Lausanne has lot to do, often with a Gallic insouciance, after dark. Among very few cities of Switzerland, which manage to remain Cosmopolitan but relentlessly conservative as Lausanne? You might begin your evening hanging out in any of the cafes and bars ringing the Espace Flon, a cluster of restaurants and shops at place Flon. Lots of hideaways, frequented by strollers of all ages, will be here to tempt you, but one of the most appealing is Le Grand Café, esplanade de Mont-Benon. Ouchy white Horse Pub in night draws the crowd, and in summer, they enjoy the terrace with views of water. Attractive and popular discos include Le Mad, route de Genève, where the fads and preoccupations of nocturnal Paris filter quickly in from the west via an under-30 crowd. Lausanne is also a cultural city, With Geneva it shares the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and also occasionally hosts the legendary ballet company of Maurice Béjart. The dance, theatre and music of contemporary and classical styles are presented by the some of the best performer of the Switzerland. Plenty of cinemas around town show latest releases, of original language (v.o., or version originale) in afternoon and evening shows dubbed into French. The Cinématheque Suisse, housed in the casino in Montbenon Park has a continually changing programme of non-commercial movies from Europe and around the world, sometimes (but rarely) with English subtitles.
