Lausanne
Lausanne carries an international profile out of proportion to its size, home to the International Olympic Committee and a cluster of international sports federations, alongside EPFL, one of the country's major technical universities, which between them draw a mix of sports administrators, researchers and academics that gives the city a different character from purely corporate Geneva further along the lake. French-speaking, built up a hillside above Lake Geneva, it offers a calmer, somewhat more affordable alternative to Geneva for people whose work allows the commute, and enough of them do that the two cities' housing markets overlap more than the official border suggests. Ask a provider here whether they work across both cities, since someone focused only on Lausanne may miss options genuinely open to you nearby.
