The signs of the old city are Tange Road, Uphill and Downhill, Luxury Brands and Characteristic Crafts Shops, and the Italian Quartet is playing the organ in the coffee fragrance. In the center of the city is Placedela Riponne (inferred from the map as Place French for "Square"), a magnificent classical building lying on one side with complex carvings, guarded by bronze flying lions, and sitting on the steps by tourists from all over the country. Looking through the door, he pointed out that the multi-French building, Palaisde Rumine, appeared to be a mixture of museums, libraries and Lausanne University. Riponne Square is also a flea market for handicraft products and used books. It can't hear loud shouts. The vendors are calmly basking in the sun.
