The park is located in the heart of the city and offers a breathtaking view of Lausanne and of the lake.

The green lawns of the Esplanade de Montbenon provide the perfect vantage point from which to admire the magnificent panoramic views over Lake Geneva and the Alps. The Casino de Montbenon, a 1908 Florentine-style building now housing a social and cultural centre, is located in the western part.
