Palais de Beaulieu

La Télé, a regional TV-channel, has its studio and its offices at Beaulieu, as well as the Béjart Ballet Lausanne company.

Conference Halls 6 + 7 of the Palais hosted the 1989 Eurovision Song Contest Located in the Beaulieu area in Lausanne, the Convention and Exhibition Center lies in more than 6 hectares of ground.

Beaulieu Lausanne, part of the MCH Group, also hosts some of Switzerland's major fairs and exhibitions.

[5] Talks about creating a new theater began in 1949, and involved the Lausanne Municipality and the Société Coopérative du Comptoir Suisse.

[6] Nowadays, the Theater is used, among others, by well-known local institutions such as the Béjart Ballet Lausanne, the Orchestre de la Suisse romande and the Paternelle.

As a tenant, MCH Beaulieu Lausanne SA, that took over from the Société Coopérative du Comptoir Suisse,[8] organizes fairs and exhibitions, mostly in the South Halls.

[9][10] In 2014, a vote of the population of Lausanne rejected by 52% the project of building a tower of 90 meters next to the Palais de Beaulieu.

[11] As a result, MCH Beaulieu Lausanne decided to reduce the conference activities (except general assemblies) and to concentrate on trade fairs (such as the Comptoir suisse).
