Canton de Vaud, the largest canton in French-speaking Switzerland, has a population of roughly 823,000. Lausanne, the cantonal capital with about 140,000 residents, rises steeply from the shores of Lake Geneva and serves as the seat of the Federal Supreme Court and the International Olympic Committee. The city's cathedral, built between the 12th and 13th centuries, is one of the finest Gothic structures in the country. Below it, the Ouchy waterfront connects to the Olympic Museum and ferry services crossing to Evian on the French side.
The canton extends from the Jura mountains in the northwest, through the Gros-de-Vaud agricultural plateau, down to the Lavaux vineyard terraces that UNESCO inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 2007. Montreux at the eastern end of the lake hosts the annual jazz festival and preserves the Chateau de Chillon, a medieval fortress on a rocky islet. Nyon, Morges, and Vevey complete the string of lakeside towns. The northern part of the canton around Yverdon-les-Bains has a quieter, more rural character.
Vaud is one of six Swiss cantons with a dedicated prostitution law: the Loi sur l'exercice de la prostitution (LEPr). This legislation requires sex workers to register with cantonal authorities and obliges municipalities to establish zoning rules. In September 2024, the Federal Court annulled a Lucens municipal bylaw that banned prostitution within 100 metres of schools, medical practices, and churches, ruling the exclusion zone disproportionate and contrary to economic freedom under Article 27 of the Constitution.
Companion services in the canton concentrate in Lausanne, with a secondary presence in Montreux and Vevey. The Sevelin area in Lausanne has traditionally been a designated zone.
