Lausanne Cathedral of Notre-Dame It was not until 1275 that the cathedral was consecrated by Emperor Rudolf of Habsburg and Pope Gregory X. After that, Jean Cotereel, the third master builder, took over the construction site and erected the western part, which he equipped with a portal porch and two towers, one of which carries the bells. The other tower was not completed. The very original painted portal was added to the south facade around 1225-1235. It was not until 1275 that the cathedral was consecrated by Emperor Rudolf of Habsburg and Pope Gregory X. In 1536, the cathedral was greatly altered during the Reformation when a new space for worship was created in the nave. It was then repeatedly restored in the 18th and 19th centuries, notably under the direction of the famous French architect Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc. The interior of the cathedral is characterised by its extraordinary colourfulness. This decoration, which dates back to the original building, was covered over during the Reformation, but was brought back to light at the beginning of the 20th century: In the Chapel of Mary and on the statues of the painted portal, unique in Europe, whose complete restoration was completed in October 2007, the paintings are still recognisable. The rosette is one of the masterpieces of European church art: its panes illustrate the medieval worldview in which God as creator was at the centre.

Update [January 2025 + April 2025] Log dump at the bottom of the trail, impossible to cross by bike (and difficult on foot) ⚠ Caution! [August 2024] Two trenches have been dug at the very end of the trail, the first just after the drop and the second just before reaching the path. Passable, but be careful depending on your speed.
