Chateau de Chillon to the eastern outskirts of Lausanne in the Vaud region, cover the lower slopes
of the mountainside between the villages and the lake. The present wine terraces can be traced back
to the 11th century, when Benedictine and Cistercian monasteries controlled the area. Lavaux

Saturday 30 May
9:00 : Cathédral of Notre-Dame in Lausanne
Construction of the Cathedral took place between 1170 and 1235. The cathedral of Notre Dame was
consecrated in 1275 by Pope Gregory X. The Protestant Reformation significantly affected the
Cathedral. In 1536 a new liturgical area was added to the nave and the colourful decorations inside
the Cathedral were covered over. Other major restorations occurred later in the 18th and 19th
century which were directed by the great French architect, Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc.
Départure for Romainmôtier Priory
Romainmôtier Priory is a former Cluniac priory in the municipality of Romainmôtier-Envy in the
canton of Vaud in Switzerland. The first monastery at Romainmôtier was built around 450 by
Romanus of Condat; One rebuilt monastery was placed under the monastic rule of Saint
Columbanus by 642; Abbot Odilo of Cluny, who resided more than once in Romainmôtier, had the
present church built at the end of the 10th century; This church was modeled after the second
church of Cluny Abbey (Cluny II). At the beginning of the 12th century, the church was modified
by the construction of an ornate narthex and in the 13th century of a gatehouse. The last
modifications were made to the church in 1445. The monastery church of Romainmôtier is one of
the most important examples of Cluniac Romanesque art in Switzerland.
Lunch
Afternoon : Visit of the Fondation Jan Michalski pour l’écriture et la littérature, in Montricher. It
