Le Flon
A converted warehouse district with restaurants, bars, boutiques and nightlife. It is also a metro transfer hub.
Le Flon sits at the bottom of the valley. It was once a warehouse zone formed after the Flon River was filled in, and over the past two decades it has been transformed into Lausanne's most fashionable district. Red-brick warehouses now house restaurants, bars, cinemas, design boutiques and nightclubs, and it is lively on weekend nights. It's an interchange for metro lines M1 and M2 and the LEB railway. The Grand-Pont bridge above it links the hillsides on either side, making it an easy stop while you shop or eat out.
