A bell once rang out across Lausanne, echoing from Notre-Dame Cathedral to the silent vaults below. Countless lives have passed through these streets, leaving behind secret struggles and whispered scandals just out of sight.

This is not just any stroll. This is a self-guided audio tour into Lausanne’s hidden corridors and surprising stories—an adventure most travelers miss beyond the postcard views.

Who was the shadowy figure whose midnight escape turned the cathedral into a scene of intrigue? What unsolved puzzle links Debiopharm’s quiet facade to rivalry and risk? And why did a single transaction at Banque Cantonale Vaudoise spiral into citywide suspicion and suspicion?

Watch Lausanne open up as you move from soaring battlements to stately marble halls. Every turn reveals a revelation, every landmark hums with echoes of rebellion, ambition, and dreams forgotten.

Hear the stories behind the stones. Step into Lausanne’s secrets now.
