A bold tribute to the Olympic Capital on Lake Geneva and City of the Cathedral where Lausanne, the fourth-largest city in Switzerland spread across the terraced hillside above the northern shore of Lake Geneva with panoramic views across the lake to the French Alps beyond, has been the world capital of sport as the home of the International Olympic Committee since 1915, when Pierre de Coubertin, the French educator who revived the modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896, chose Lausanne as the permanent headquarters of the movement he had created, and where the Olympic Museum on the shores of the lake presents the history, ideals, and achievements of the Olympic movement in one of the most visited museums in Switzerland, where Lausanne's Cathedral of Notre-Dame, consecrated in 1275 in the presence of Pope Gregory X and Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf of Habsburg and considered one of the finest Gothic cathedrals in Switzerland, maintains the unique medieval tradition of the night watch, the guet, where a watchman calls out the hours from the cathedral tower between ten at night and two in the morning as has been done continuously since the 13th century, and where Lausanne's extraordinary concentration of international organizations, the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the World Anti-Doping Agency, and over fifty international sports federations, alongside its vibrant university town character give the city a cosmopolitan energy disproportionate to its size.
