GENEVA and LAUSANNE SWITZERLAND – Beautiful Lausanne is the featured city for the 2012 Swiss week of taste which began on 13 September.

Known in French as La Semaine du Gout, the event is a 10-day celebration of local and Swiss produce and products.

Lausanne, as featured city, is hosting several events for foodies and food lovers (download their program here).

Geneva, as most large Swiss cities, is also participating in the effort to promote local, slow food. 40 cafes and restaurants are playing up local fare such as Lake Geneva whitefish, artisan beer, local fresh mozzarella and roasted boar on their menus.
