MARKET SQUARE
Go there and contact
A beautiful square overlooking the lake, often transformed into a soccer pitch in summer. At the beginning of the 13th century, Place des Halles was the area separating the old from the new town. Here, the Bishop of Lausanne had his tower (erected between 1221 and 1229), his house and his bread ovens. At the beginning of the 15th century, the bishop's domination gradually gave way to the villagers, who built the halles to the south of the tower. At that time, the halles building was intended for the storage of merchandise, and probably for a covered market.
