Sauvabelin Forest is a suburban park where Lausanne locals have come for Sunday strolls and afternoon walks in a soothing natural setting for more than a century. Walks lead past the River Flon, the picturesque Bois de Sauvabelin, and the ruins of a former Swiss village. The true highlights of the forest are the Lac du Sauvabelin, an artificial lake built in the late 19th century, and the Sauvebelin Tower, an interesting wooden structure nine stories tall with beautiful views of the surrounding region. Visitors often take picnics on landscaped grounds, row boats on the lake in the warmer months, and take children to see Swiss-native farm animals. Legend has it that the late and great David Bowie owned a home on the forest grounds.

Romainmotier Priory is a monastery founded by Romanus of Condat in the Canton of Vaud, explaining its namesake. Now an entry on the Swiss inventory of cultural property of national and regional significance, it once stood as a priory for monks of the Cluniac order. The rich history of the Romainmotier Priory begins around 450, from there traveling through medieval times, a 14th-century financial crisis, the Protestant Reformation, and two restorations from 1899 to 1915 and 1992 to 2000.

Depuis 1990, le Petit Théâtre présente des spectacles tout public. Si la programmation vise essentiellement un public très jeune (dès 7 ans), tout y est néanmoins fait comme pour les grands. On y trouve un bar (à sirop) et les 88 fauteuils de velours rouge n'ont rien à envier aux grandes salles de concerts. La grande qualité des spectacles présentés charme petits et grands et l'on y observe parfois quelques adultes esseulés, honteux de ne pas avoir trouvé un petit neveu pour les accompagner.
