The year was 2013. We were so proud to have had a whole year of The Lausanne Guide under our belts, and we wanted to celebrate. We decided to throw a One Year Birthday Party, and asked our friend Bertrand (who was managing Le Comptoir at the time) if he could co-host with us. While
A personal reflection about committing to do something outside of your comfort zone, and the revelations you may encounter along the way.
“Just do what feels comfortable,” we tell her, as we move the camera lens a few inches from her face. “This?” she says, hiding behind a pillow, jesting and laughing in her contagious manner. This is the paradox that is Eleni. You see her on the street and notice her impeccably outrageous style–her mix of

Don’t get us wrong, we love Lausanne. But there is one thing we often don’t realize we are missing until we visit Paris or London or New York: being inspired by daily street fashion. We think it’s even more rare to have those moments of inspiration at the office or workplace because work clothes=boring. But

You either had to spend beaucoup bucks to belong to some high-end gym with super strict contractual obligations or you had to settle for the more economical but super basic option with no-frills and 3 treadmills with a 30-minute time limit. While
We hope you had an incredibly relaxing, adventurous, and satisfying holiday and are ready to take on 2018. While reflecting on our hopes for this year, we realize that 1) we really hate New Year’s resolutions and 2) we still feel some pressure to make them. And then we stumbled upon this TEDTalks video given a

*SCROLL DOWN FOR DETAILS ABOUT THE GIVEAWAY* We remember the first time we had to buy glasses here in Switzerland. It was over seven years ago, and we walked into a popular retail chain and picked out one of the cheapest frames we could find. Over five hundred francs later we ended up with glasses we
Well friends, it’s November. And we think it’s finally time to accept that the cold weather is officially here to stay. Instead of giving into our hibernation instincts (wrap ourselves in blankets + eat cheese + sleep early – and repeat), we reached out to our friend and Lausanne Guide sponsor Shannon Flynn, owner of

Un arbre, un enfant. On Saturday we planted some literal roots right here in our adopted city, and we made this video to share with you. If you read this site even irregularly, you’re probably aware that 2016 was a big year for us. Because everything is more fun if you do it with friends,

Last weekend we were scrolling through our Instagram feed when we came across a gorgeous bouquet of flowers with a caption that indicated they were from a self-service floral farm just 25 minutes from Lausanne. Then we heard this flower farm also had a bouquet-arranging station, a huge selection of aromatic herbs to be picked,

We all know the benefits of eating organic (or ‘bio’) food–no synthetic pesticides, no GMOs, no antibiotics or hormones…and the list goes on. When you think about all the by-products that could potentially go into our food, it makes sense to be a bit more thoughtful about the items we buy. We luckily live in
