World class wine, stunning beaches and a giant chocolate Roger Federer - 48 hours in Lausanne Switzerland's ‘best small city'

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... The giant chocolate Roger Federer statue wasn't the first thing I noticed in the Jorge Cardoso chocolatier. I was drawn to the exquisite rows of shiny chocolates within the counter. I was on a choco tour in Lausanne, a charming city in Switzerland which sits on the banks of Lake Geneva. This £25 tour takes in a range of Lausanne's artisan chocolatiers (you can visit up to five) and sample their wares, as well as taking a couple of sweet treats home. Not only is it a delicious way to see the city, who doesn't want chocolate in Switzerland? Lausanne is a proudly foodie place, shown by its seasonal festivals and tours, which, when we visited, was the Tarte à la raisinée Trail. A Tarte à la raisinée is a speciality of the area, called cooked wine, also known as raisinée, made from apple, pear or grape must that has been reduced over a wood fire for around 18-24 hours. This treacle-like substance is then poured into pastry and cooked until set. Each bakery makes their own version of Tarte à la raisinée, with some like a treacle tart and others lighter and fruiter. Much like the choco trail, visiting a variety of the bakers to sample this local delicacy is a great way to explore the city. We ate our tarts in the sun in the Parc Mon-Repos on a Friday afternoon. Bliss. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad While there are sweet treats galore, Lausanne is also surrounded by and home to vineyards. If like me, you weren't aware Switzerland made wine then it's because it is very rarely exported, the Swiss preferring to keep it all for themselves. This means that a trip to Lausanne is an ideal opportunity to sample some Swiss (vaud) wine. We took a short train journey from Lausanne to Grandvaux to Domaine Croix Duplex and enjoyed a wine tasting on the terrace overlooking the vineyard with stunning lake and mountain views beyond. Each of the whites and reds were excellent, and it was easy to see why the Swiss want to keep their wine to themselves. View over the city, across the lake to the Alps | Lausanne tourism All of this wine made us hungry and lunch at the nearby Auberge de la Gare de Grandvaux is a must for its fresh, local produce including steaks, salads and fried pike and chips. If the weather is good, you can take a walk down the hills on a winding track next to the vineyards to the train station. Keeping on the food theme of our trip, we enjoyed a range of restaurants and bars in this medieval city including the bustling le Vieux Lausanne and Brasserie de Montbenon where we enjoyed lovely evening views of the lake as we enjoyed our meals. Dishes included steaks and seasonal items such as asparagus and fish. There were also delicious, vegetarian pasta dishes. For an after dinner drink, why not check out the cute le Vestibule where you will find the second floor hidden away behind the library door. Lausanne is home to the International Olympic Committee headquarters, as well as the Olympic Museum and lakeshore Olympic Park. It's well worth a visit to the Olympic Museum where you'll learn all about the history of the games as well as looking back at former opening ceremonies and taking in some amazing artefacts from past games, such as Torvill and Dean's costumes from their famous Borelo routine at the Sarajevo 1984 Winter Olympics when the British pair won gold medals. Another inspiring place to visit is the new Plateforme 10 art district, located near the train station. While there we saw the beautiful and thought-provoking Tyler Mitchell exhibition showcasing the New York based photographer, who is best known for his cover photo of Beyoncé for the cover of Vogue, and the Sport in Focus Exhibition. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Plateforme 10 | Elysee Lausanne has attracted celebrities over the years; Coco Chanel stayed in the city (there's a suite at the Lausanne Palace hotel named after the legendary French fashion designer) and David Bowie owned a chateau in the outskirts. The lake, with its beautiful beaches and views is an obvious draw but the charming centre with its shops and 12th-century gothic Cathedral mean you get both a beach and city break here. A guided tour is well worth it to find out more about Lausanne's rich history, and our guide (and author) Matthieu Ruf was excellent. Switzerland may not seem like the most obvious choice for a summer beach break, but once you visit charming (and delicious) Lausanne you'll be sure to be planning a return. Where we stayed in Lausanne We stayed in the charmingly traditional four star Hôtel Carlton Lausanne located on Avenue de Cour 4, 1007 Lausanne. Vitally, it's a two-minute walk to a metro station, which was built to transport locals and visitors up the steep hill. Visitors can make use of a Lausanne Transport Card, which allows all guests staying in a hotel in Lausanne to enjoy public transports in and around the city free of charge (bus, train, metro).

Return flights from Edinburgh to Geneva from £70 with easyJet ( Return flights from Glasgow to Geneva from £56 with easyJet.

Danny Dyer and Stephen Graham 'set to reunite for gritty new drama' to rival Netflix hit Adolescence
is reportedly teaming up with acting heavyweight Stephen Graham for a powerful new TV drama - and it's tipped to go head-to-head with 2025's biggest hit, Adolescence. The pair, who last worked together in the 2009 cult horror Doghouse, are in early talks to create a hard-hitting series tackling some of the toughest issues facing society today. A source told The Mirror: 'It's a gritty new drama. They are currently thrashing out what they want to do but it will be in the vein of Adolescence. Something unflinching and moving.' Adolescence, which starred Stephen and was co-created by him and writer Jack Thorne, has become Netflix 's most-watched series of the year. It sparked a national debate and was even discussed in Parliament over its depiction of teenage misogyny and online safety. The series, which follows a father whose teenage son is arrested for murder, hit No1 in 71 countries and clocked up a staggering 66.3 million views in just two weeks. Danny, 47, has publicly praised his friend's work, saying: 'It's such an important subject, Steve. You've got to roll me into something. I want a bit of this.' Away from the cameras, it is reported the duo are also planning to reunite on a more personal level, organising a double date with wives Joanne Mas and Hannah Walters. MailOnline has contacted Danny and Stephen's representatives. It comes after Danny recently revealed he left locals wide-eyed in shock when he ran through a council estate 'stark naked' while filming Mr. Bigstuff. After the success of its first series, the second instalment of the Sky comedy-drama is set to hit screens later this year. The show follows two estranged and rather contrasting brothers, Glen (Ryan Sampson) and Lee (Danny Dyer), as they discover that their father, who they thought was dead, is actually alive. But during filming for the show's second series, which has now finished, Danny was asked to do something not many actors have done before - run through a British council estate fully nude. He and his co-star Ryan told Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston about the hilarious scene on Wednesday during an appearance on Heart Breakfast. As well as working on the production side of things for Adolescence, Hannah also had a camep role in the series as the teacher Mrs Bailey in episode two Ryan explained: 'So, series two, end of the first episode, it got quite a visceral... Shall we say a full-frontal moment?', before Danny revealed: 'Nudity.' Ryan continued: 'There's a full-frontal moment, and it's in a public place as well. And I wasn't sure whether Danny would to do it or whatever, but he's completely up for it.' 'It's a scene where I'm running through a council estate, yeah, stark naked,' Dyer quipped. 'I read it, I laughed. I thought you know, "it's got to be done". The first ep is about Lee, he's been emasculated. So he's just moping about all day, so irritated. 'He needs to find his mojo, I was going to say his plums!,' the former EastEnders actor laughed. 'Anyways, so there's this amazing scene at the end where I'm sort of chasing someone down the street, and I've got a towel, and I take the towel off, and I use it as some sort of lasso. 'I mean, you're sort of reading it going, "How on Earth are we going to do this?"' Ryan went onto describe the moment Danny whipped off the towel and sprinted through the estate, with a local even spotting him as he did so. 'Like, I thought we were going to shut the road down or something. Actually, nope. It's just a real suburban street! 'So, I'm stood at the other end of the street and he's running, and there's this man on his phone. Danny is running down, and this man goes - he's outside the house - and he goes on a phone, "Sorry babe, I'm going to have to get back to you, because there's a man running down the street naked, and I'm not being funny, he looks like Mick from EastEnders".' Danny played Mick, who owned the Queen Victoria pub in the popular BBC soap, for a nine-year period beginning in 2013.
