Denantou Park
Overview
Intro
From Ouchy, the quays open out into a vast public park with extensive lawned areas and magnificent age-old trees. The grounds are graced by a 16-metre-high Thai pavilion.
Visitors to Denantou Park, situated right by the lake shore, really appreciate its extensive lawns and wonderful trees. There is also a lovely collection of rhododendrons, camellias, beech trees and exotic trees.
The striking Thai pavilion is a gift from Thailand to the city of Lausanne, where its king lived and studied for some time. The Vuachère river flows serenely by on the outskirts of the park. Near its mouth stands Haldimand Tower, erected in 1823 by the owner of the site at the height of the Romantic period.
