Église St-François, one of the city’s landmarks.
The quarter in which the church stands,
the Bourg,
spreads over a narrow ridge between two gorges,
and before the nineteenth century stood alone
as a separate community, rather wealthier than those all around.
The church was part of a Franciscan convent built around 1270.
The belfry 56 meters in height, resembles the one in the cathedral.




This photo is not here alone by chance,
it's supposed to be part of a virtual visit of Lausanne.
If you have time


to keep on strolling over.
