The Buzz in Lausanne: Anne-Sophie Pic Restaurant at the Beau Rivage Palace

Now there's another reason to check into Lausanne's landmark on Lake Geneva, one of the few remaining palace hotels in Europe: The Beau-Rivage. La Rotonde restaurant has closed its doors, and in its place, Anne-Sophie Pic, the only French woman to hold the Michelin Guide's coveted 3-star rating, will open a new gourmet restaurant. The restaurant "Anne-Sophie Pic au Beau-Rivage Palace" will be open for business in April 2009, just in time for your family to enjoy an Easter getaway (replete with an Easter egg hunt in the gardens, and bountiful gastronomic delights) in Switzerland. During your stay, don't miss a spa treatment at the cutting-edge Cinq Mondes spa, one of the world's finest. Another tip: From the Beau-Rivage Palace, you can enjoy a 40-minute ferry ride across Lake Geneva to the famous French spa-town of Evian.
