There’s a chance you won’t have given Lausanne a second thought after finishing your History GCSEs.
I hadn’t – the name conjured up nothing more than a little, lined revision card scrawled with facts on the famous post-First World War peace treaty.
And before I visited Switzerland, where Lausanne lies, I associated it with a hazy handful of things – chocolate, cheese and cuckoo clocks, with a side of banking and neutrality.
Which is a shame (although not the chocolate and cheese part – there’s enough of both for fondue all day every day).
Because Lausanne has a winning mix of old town history, modern art, lake-side serenity and, well, wine.
