Les Ateliers du Moulin cultivates dreams and nature |
|
|
 Sophie and Raymond Weber needed a place unlike any other to present their unusual floral and vegetal art. They chose to set to work at these ancient mills surrounded by nature, a few kilometers from Moudon. They run the entire estate, which spreads over four levels.
There are plants everywhere, charming mini-jungles with both cut flowers and selected potted plants in regional garden centres. A place of art and crafts, these unique florists are ready to share with other artists to bring out their creations. If you are considering a hanging garden, are imagining table decorations or simply want to bring life to your terrace, this place is an indispenable source of inspiration. Kids' corner and small cafe area available.

 The small railway train created in 2003 by the Lavaux Express Association in order to visit one of the world's most beautiful vineyards starts up again during the summer. The train, on rubber tyres, composed of a tractor and two coaches able to accommodate up to 34 people, offers an exceptional one hour trip through the impressive terraced vineyards of Lavaux. From June to September, keep an eye out for programmes offering a wine-tasting tour in a cellar each Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The 13th century: the troglodyte connection |
|
 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. Contact:Club le XIIIe siècle

 From the hives to the gardens while skirting the edges and the marsh of Champ-Pittet (near Yverdon), everyone is recruited to catch the thief who stole the Bizibi bee honey. A circuit in the form of a treasure hunt made up of 20 stations which should allow the participants to identify the culprit. A challenging adventure to experience in the open air until the end of the summer.
