Over 80 years of eventful history marked by happiness and glory or sometimes tears and anguish in which kings, noblemen, magnates, stars and refugees made and shaped history - their own personal history and that of society. From peace treaties to conferences and all kinds of seminars: for thousands of people from all walks of life, Lausanne and its Palace have been indelibly recorded in the annals of memory. At the beginning of the century, Lausanne asserted its identity as a city of exchanges and study. It felt an obligation to provide a worthy reception for its guests. Already reputed as a “Mecca of Medicine”, it welcomed in 1915 the fragile Olympic institution whose reviver, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, wanted to shelter from the upheavals of the world conflict.
