Good to know about the time in Lausanne
Lausanne uses Swiss time and is on the same time as France all year round. The boats linking it to Thonon-les-Bains and Évian cross Lake Geneva without changing time.
Home to the International Olympic Committee, the city has, like every Swiss station, the clock designed by Hans Hilfiker in 1944 for the Federal Railways: its red second hand goes round the dial in just under a minute, then pauses for a moment at the top while the minute hand moves on.
