Very cool and well made, with a cool touch of humor. Thank you Jerome for the tip. (by e-mail, translated from french by urbirun)

Agrippine - August 13th 2017

Lausanne, you're a heaven on Earth for all runners. We got to experience the most amazing sunrise this morning as we jogged alongside the Lake Geneva with the stunning views of snow covered French Alps. This is my fave way to start the day. And if I lived here in @mylausanne I'd be running around the lake every day ???????? There's so many walking and running city tours to choose from on the urbirun app. Such a great idea and every city should have it. We took the Urbirun Lausanne Lake run today and had a few too many stops for the piccies to capture the beauty of Lausanne !! I can't wait to experience the other "run the city" tours with urbirun (from instagram @m44ria)
