In the Vaudois neighbourhood, up the slope from the centre of Lausanne is the handsome “l’Hermitage” manor house from the 1850s.
The house is nested in its own park, blessed with another dreamy perspective of the lake, mountains and the Cathedral towers.
This view was famously recorded by the great landscape artist Camille Corot.
In the 70s l’Hermitage was bequeathed to the city, and at the same time an art foundation was set up, with a collection that has now swollen to hundreds of works.
