Flea markets in Lausanne

Lausanne's market scene is among the most diverse in French-speaking Switzerland. Les Marchés du Tunnel is the city's anchor — a multi-day market in the tunnel under the train station that runs Wednesday through Saturday, each day with slightly different vendors. Marché de la Riponne in the Place de la Riponne, fronted by the Palais de Rumine, is the most visually dramatic market setting in Romandie. The monthly Calabash market and the weekly CPO market add variety for regular visitors. Lausanne's topography — the city climbs steeply from the lake — means markets tend to cluster in the central plateau around Flon and Riponne rather than spreading across the neighbourhoods.
