The city has served as a refuge for European artists. While under the care of a psychiatrist
at Lausanne, T. S. Eliot composed most of his 1922 poem The Waste Land ("by the waters
of Leman I sat down and wept").[18] Ernest Hemingway also visited from Paris with his
wife during the 1920s, to holiday. In fact, many creative people — such as historian
Edward Gibbon and Romantic era poets Shelley and Byron — have "sojourned, lived,
and worked in Lausanne or nearby".[19]

The city has been traditionally quiet, but in the late 1960s and early 1970s, a series of
demonstrations took place that exposed tensions between young people and the police.
Later demonstrations took place to protest against the high cinema prices, followed by 18th-century silver trumpet
protest against the G8 meetings in 2003.[20] candlesticks from Lausanne

Geography

Topography
The most important geographical feature of the area surrounding Lausanne is Lake
Geneva (Lac Léman in French). Lausanne is built on the southern slope of the Swiss
plateau, with a difference in elevation of about 500 metres (1,640 ft) between the
lakeshore at Ouchy and its northern edge bordering Le Mont-sur-Lausanne and Épalinges.
Lausanne boasts a dramatic panorama over the lake and the Alps.

In addition to its generally southward-sloping layout, the centre of the city is the site of an
ancient river, the Flon, which has been covered since the 19th century. The former river
The agglomeration of Lausanne,
forms a gorge running through the middle of the city south of the old city centre,
Lake Geneva and the Alps.
generally following the course of the present Rue Centrale, with several bridges crossing
the depression to connect the adjacent neighbourhoods. Due to the considerable
differences in elevation, visitors should make a note as to which plane of elevation they
are on and where they want to go, otherwise they will find themselves tens of metres
below or above the street which they are trying to negotiate. The name Flon is also used
for the metro station located in the gorge.

The municipality includes the villages of Vidy, Cour, Ouchy, Mornex, Chailly, La Sallaz,
Vennes, Montblesson, Vers-chez-les-Blanc, Montheron and Chalet-à-Gobet (871 m
(2,858 ft)) as well as the exclave of Vernand.

Dame and the old town.
Lausanne has an area, as of 2009, of 41.38–41.33 square kilometers (15.98–15.96 sq mi)
(depending on calculation method). Of this area, 6.64 km2 (2.56 sq mi) or 16.0% is used
for agricultural purposes, while 16.18 km2 (6.25 sq mi) or 39.1% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 18.45 km2 (7.12 sq mi) or
44.6% is settled (buildings or roads), 0.05 km2 (12 acres) or 0.1% is either rivers or lakes and 0.01 km2 (2.5 acres) or 0.0% is
unproductive land.[21]

Of the built-up area, industrial buildings made up 1.6% of the total area while housing and buildings made up 21.6% and
transportation infrastructure made up 12.5%. Power and water infrastructure as well as other special developed areas made up
1.4% of the area while parks, green belts and sports fields made up 7.5%. Out of the forested land, all of the forested land area is
covered with heavy forests. Of the agricultural land, 11.1% is used for growing crops and 4.2% is pastures. All the water in the
municipality is in lakes.[21]

The municipality was part of the old Lausanne District until it was dissolved on 31 August 2006, and it became the capital of the
new district of Lausanne.[22]
