Hi folk. I’ve got a kind of job offer near Lausanne and after 14 years spent in Zurich I am seriously mulling a relocation to the shore of Lake Leman, to change scenery. I know salaries are lower and taxes higher, however the property purchase is more affordable and I find Romandie and surroundings culturally more interesting than Eastern Switzerland. One of my main concerns is actually the social landscape…is Lausanne just as socially dead as Zurich, or perhaps even more so? Are Lausanne’s people just a French variant of the Zucchini (A nickname from Italian Switzerland for Zurich’s unpleasant natives)? Has anyone of you ever lived in both cities and can please write any comments? Thank you all! Ciao submitted by /u/Balgrist
