Lausanne has always wanted to be a city of taste, since it was the capital of the Week of the same name in 2012. Especially since the city is part of the Délices network bringing together a series of international cities which have put gastronomy at the center of their concerns. Finally, Lausanne has recently become a member of the Great Wine Capitals, another association which groups wine-producing places that offer wine tourism. Suffice to say that when it hosts the Youth Olympic Games, Lausanne does not forget to offer something to support athletes, volunteers and participants in Lausanne at the Games! and its three hundred activities.
As the organizers promise, “there will be something for everyone, children and adults, for all budgets and diets, in a festive atmosphere! With a focus on ecology and collaboration with local partners. “The gastronomic offer will therefore be developed in seven themes and as many places. Each time, in partnership with one or more local players who will highlight their specificities. And we will not forget the other YOG websites.
On Place Saint-François, renamed Belle Place, around the Maison des sites, it is the terroir that will be in the spotlight of the different proposals. In the house itself, Terre Vaudoise offers a restaurant with products from the various YOG sites. Like a Diablerets trout, a Vacherin Mont-d’Or from the Valley or the wines of the City of Lausanne, the largest public owner of vines in Switzerland, with its five estates between Mont-sur-Rolle, Allaman, Saint-Saphorin and Dézaley. Various punctual events with actors from the Olympic sites are also planned, such as a Wine Wines evening concluded on a magnificent 1988 vintage.
Beside, the Raclette Chalet will decline six cheeses from so many YOG sites. Another chalet will offer hot fondues and classic fondues on dedicated trees, while a cheese maker will make every Wednesday and Saturday.

Place de la Riponne becomes the e-Arlaud to support players who will leave their games in eSpace. Here, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, it’s the kingdom of food trucks.
