Lausanne is a French-speaking city in southwestern Switzerland, the capital of the Swiss federal canton of Vaud and Lausanne, as well as the fifth largest and second largest French-speaking city in Switzerland.
Lausanne is located on the north shore of Lake Geneva, about 50 km northeast of Geneva, across the lake from the French city and to the north by the Jura Mountains. Like Geneva, Lausanne is home to the headquarters of many prominent international organizations, such as the International Olympic Committee, and is therefore known as the "Olympic Capital". The IOC has chosen this place as its office location since 1914, so Lausanne attaches great importance to sports and cultural activities, and the Lausanne Marathon is world-famous!
洛桑建在伯尔尼高地南坡的三座小山上，周围是葡萄园覆盖的山坡，依山濒湖（日内瓦湖），南北海拔差可达500m，最重要的地理区划就是日内瓦湖，弗隆河（Flon）和卢夫河从市区穿过，将市区分为三部分。
Lausanne is an ancient capital with a long history of the city. Its history dates back to the romans who built a military camp called "Lousanna" on the site of a Celtic settlement near present-day Ouchy. But the name Lausanne was not finalized until 900.
After the collapse of the Roman Empire, security factors caused the city center of Lausanne to move from the shores of Lake Geneva to the mountains, ruled by the Duke of Savoy and the Bishop of Lausanne.
From 1536 to 1798, Lausanne came under the rule of the Bernese Oblast, and many of the local artifacts were looted by the Bernese.
In 1685, the King of France revoked the Edict of Nantes, and Lausanne became one of the sanctuaries of the Huguenots. In 1729-1812, Lausanne opened the Huguenot Seminary and sent missionaries back to France to secretly return to France as missionaries.
During the Napoleonic Wars, Lausanne raised its status as a city and in 1803 opened a new page by joining the Swiss Confederation as the capital of the canton of Vaud.
In the 1950s and 1970s, large numbers of immigrants from Italy, Portugal and Spain settled in Lenant, the western suburbs of Lausanne, changing Lausanne's eating habits.
Lausanne has always been a haven for European artists. Hemingway and his wife had come here on a special trip from Paris for a holiday. Many famous European writers such as Byron, Rousseau, Hugo and Dickens have lived, lived and worked here, so Lausanne is also known as the "International City of Culture".
洛桑还是一个极具活力的大学城，具有深厚的文化底蕴。
The Lausanne School of Management in Lausanne is a world-class institution and research institution. The Ecole Polytechnique Fédération de Lausanne is one of the two Swiss Federal Polytechnics.
洛桑的著名景点包括：
The Olympic Museum (Le Musée Olympique) was inaugurated in June 1993. 该馆占地2.3万平方米，工程耗资1.18亿瑞士法郎，其中84%来自企业（中国的企业当仁不让！ 十分给力！ 其名字被永久刻在博物馆大厅的墙壁上）、民间以及一些奥委会成员国的捐赠，剩余的16%的资金由国际奥委会承担。 The Olympic Museum is the world's largest museum that records the history of the Olympic movement and is the World Olympic Information Center.
The vicinity of the Olympic Museum is full of elements related to the Olympic theme: statues, Olympic steps (the host of previous Olympic Games and the name of the torchlighter), the statue of Coubertin, the father of the modern Olympic Games, the Olympic fire, etc., all of which are worth seeing!
The Cathedral of Lausanne (La Cathédrale de Lausanne) was built in 1150 and took a total of 82 years to complete in 1232. Known as the most beautiful church in Switzerland, it is also the signature church of Lausanne! 它有着哥德式的建筑外观，其大门上，是13世纪时以圣经中的圣徒为主要雕刻主题的雕像，虽然颜色已经斑驳，但精致的程度仍叫人赞叹不已。 The interior of the church is very solemn, many of the stone pillars have 13th-century paintings, and the stained glass composed of various patterns and stories is reflected on the ground of the church under the sun, forming another solemn beauty. 这里最有名的彩绘玻璃当数玫瑰窗，于1240年所建，上面的图案以不同季节与月份所形成的宇宙意象为主题，经过两年的修整于1999年又重新开放。
(Château Saint-Maire)
The Château de Saint-Meyer was built in 1397-1425 as the bishop's seat of the Diocese of Lausanne until 1536 when Bern occupied Lausanne (the bishop escaped via a hidden staircase). The Château de Saint-Meyer was converted into an armoury. After the establishment of the canton of Vaud in 1803, it became the seat of the cantonal government and was included in the Swiss List of National and Regional Important Cultural Properties.
The old town of Uchi and the lakeside promenade are the essence of Lausanne, an ancient, a young, a historical, a modern, a simple and elegant, a flower blooming, showing the beauty of Lausanne in different periods to the fullest! I especially like the lakefront area, with its vast lake surface and spectacular boulevards, without the crowding of the old town of Ucci! The enchanting parks of the Lakeside district are lush and delightful! 还有就是那些戏水的人群，让人觉得洛桑这个古老的城市十分接地气！
