Blécherette covers a small slice of Lausanne in Switzerland, its landmark list running to the Vieux-Moulin omnisports hall and the Castle of Prilly.
About Blécherette
Where to stay in Blécherette
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Blécherette is not where Lausanne keeps its hotels. The quarter reads as residential and institutional ground, so a visitor drawn here by the Vieux-Moulin omnisports hall generally books nearer the middle of Lausanne and travels out for the event itself. Bellevaux appears on the same list.
The Castle of Prilly gives the area a second fixed point worth the walk, though neither it nor the sports hall brings a room supply with it.
About Blécherette
What are the main landmarks in Blécherette?
Count the landmarks in Blécherette and you stop at three. The Vieux-Moulin omnisports hall covers the sporting side, the Castle of Prilly supplies the historic one, and Bellevaux rounds out a list that stays short by the standards of a Lausanne quarter. Blécherette keeps no larger register.
What the set does show is a district built for use, where an indoor sports hall carries as much weight in the record as a castle does.
What is the history of Blécherette?
No charter year sits in the file. Blécherette comes down as a quarter of Lausanne rather than as a settlement with a founding date of its own, and the Castle of Prilly is the one entry on its list that points to an older order. Bellevaux belongs to the same record.
Whatever else happened here reaches the record through Lausanne, since the file carries no separate charter for the quarter.
Where is Blécherette?
Blécherette takes in roughly two square kilometres of Lausanne, and its record ties the quarter to Bellevaux and to the Castle of Prilly.
