Once upon a time, long ago in 1969, a group of students from Lausanne University decided on the need for a meeting place, something unusual and one adapted to the student purse. After two years of negotiation and 10,000 hours work in the vaulted 13th century cellars at the base of the Lausanne cathedral, the «13e siècle» opened in the dark of night in October 1971. Today, the spirit continues, witnessed by a warm welcome, a collection of hits from the seventies, a fine selection of whiskies and drinks at reasonable prices. Don’t miss the reading room and the dance floor linked by galleries on four levels. A great address, somewhere between a night club and a circle of friends.
