There is though a very deeply held prejudice in some circles (very well represented on here) that wants to blame the English. Look what happened when Liverpool fans were treated appallingly by French police and locals at the CL final last year. The authorities were pushing an open door in the initial cover up.
I used to live near Lausanne. It does give you more to go on than for people who see countries through the lens of gap year or 2 weeks hanging out in fashionable restaurants.
How did you find that? When I worked in Switzerland we had a sister office in Lausanne. On the surface it is a nice place, but my workmate was mugged for his laptop there.
Yep, both are true. Lovely place for expats and wealthy Swiss. We loved it, especially as we lived in the mountains rather than the city. Maybe not the first choice for a night out, with Montreux and the smaller villages along the lake to choose from. Definitely less salubrious parts away from the tourist trail.
