Time to dive in

September means back to school and back to the daily grind for older children… The vacations seem like a distant memory, with the songs of the cicadas and the steady hum of the fans lulling us to sleep on warm summer nights…

Although the summer season doesn’t seem to be giving way any time soon this year, you may be feeling the back-to-school blues and have run out of ideas for filling the nostalgia for gelati al pistacchio or mauresques on the pétanque courts.

But don’t worry, BCUL has come up with an equally refreshing and fun (and much more recommendable!) selection on the joys and benefits of swimming!

In recent years, Lausanne and the surrounding area have seen their range of ephemeral waterfront bars expand, much to the delight of bathers and bon-vivants alike.

And for those who prefer chlorinated water to duck fleas, beautiful outdoor pools are to be found in all four corners of the canton, and are no match for the new “buvettes”.

Isn’t it great to have so many options for taking a dip? Grab your swimsuits and dive in with your eyes closed!

To be discovered on the Riponne site from August 23 to September 19.
