cafe des philosophes
Srikanth Bandi
Somebody told me that 'cafe des philosophes' in Lausanne is
so named because philosophers of Enlightenment used to visit
this place. Who were these philosophers? I know Voltaire
lived in Switzerland (I think a place called Ferney) almost
till his last days, but it appears unlikely that he could have
come to Lausanne for a cup of coffee. Rousseau might have
visited since he was from Geneva and wandered here and there.
But otherwise much of philosophical action took place in France.
So I am just curious about historicity of this place.

!! Ah, la place PŽpinet É These are all the things one misses when far from
it, none of that here in Chicago (other cool things though!!!).
C'est marrant d'entendre parler des endroits que je connais (je suis de
Lausanne), il me tarde de rentrer en Suisse pour dŽguster une bonne vraie
fondue, de la viande sŽchŽe, ou une crožte au fromage É

Olivier,
Is this for real?
I have not been there for long time, and I wonder what become of Chez
Mario, Nelson, and all the nice place at Ave de Ouchy, and near rue de ?
I forgot what is called!
Oh how sad when you have been living for too long far away from home!
Things don't change, but also disappear as well.
They become living memory, and from time to time I take trip in my mind
and wonder what become of my places, things, roads, little villages, and
most of all the state of mind.
Today I recall the long ride from Luasanne to Bern every single day, to
study in Bern and live in Ouchy.
Just wondering! This is Sunday and nothing else but to relax and read,
and imagine, what yesterday was like.
I guess I'm Homesick.
Sorry for this trouble.
Ciao.--

And was the "Treissiemme Siecle" (excuse my spelling) a famous nightclub during the 13th century.

Further bit: although Voltaire did live in Ferney for sure, he also
stayed in Geneva. His former house is now a museum (happens to be just
under my windows) and gave its name to the street - "Les Delices".
