After-all, its just a small residential town of 17, inhabitants in the French-speaking canton of Vaud. We made the decision to move last year from neighbouring Lausanne to Morges : partly due to commuting reasons Morges is closer to Geneva , but more also because we simply fell in love with the Old Town, the chance to live close to the lake! Morges is also just two train stops away from Lausanne, making it extremely feasible for a day-trip.
Once you step out of the station: Walk out straight towards the direction of the Old Town. Cut thorugh though the Old Town and to the lakeside promenade. Then turn left towards the rows of yachts, and the park soon comes into view.
This park is also happens to be where I walk my dog Kaya every morning: so in fact, I had been observing the growth of the tulip buds…since the end of autumn last year!?! Truth be told: There were some occasions when Kaya gets naughty and run loose across the flower beds while they were still growing!
Aside from tulips, other flowers are out in their fullest glory as well: From irises, narcissus, roses, to daffodils. If you are visiting later in the evening, consider staying longer to check out the free light-show projected on the walls of the Morges Castle situated just next to the park.
This show tells the story of the tulip through time, from its origins to its arrival in Morges. This is an exclusive creation by artist Albin Christen for the Tulip Festival. This animation is available from March 23 to April Two performances per evening are offered from Wednesday to Saturday, as well as Sunday and Easter Monday. Timings of the Light-Show: March 23 — 8 pm and 8. March 30 — April 9: 8. In terms of food options: there is a spacious culinary tent set up within the park premises, serving a range of hot and cold food.
