For those remaining in Lausanne over the weekend, we propose a Saturday excursion over the waves of the L\u00e9man on board a Belle \u00c9poque paddle steamer from Lausanne to the Ch\u00e2teau de Chillon. There, participants will be met with a choice of activities: either visiting the medieval castle of Chillon, going on a picturesque shoreside walk to Vevey, or opting for a swim in the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, we will proceed to a sunset winetasting at the Grandvaux vineyard, overlooking the UNESCO world heritage site, the Lavaux terrace vineyards, with the option to proceed to a fondue evening in an intimate Pinte in Lausanne\u2019s charming old town.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
