Lausanne Travel Forum

We will be meeting friends for one night in Lausanne. We'd hope to leave the hired care somewhere safe and travel into town and our hotel by public transport. Research indicates that Lausanne is not car friendly, and I've a few too many hysterical dinner-time stories already about car parking and the extraordinary things it does to blood pressure and to normally polite people's language. Any suggestions - parking garages in suburbs, nearby towns, etc - as to where we could leave the car without it turning into mayhem would be much appreciated. Thanks.
