A lakeside deck and buvette on the Jetee de la Compagnie at Vidy in Lausanne, part of the city's public bathing zone on Lake Geneva, with ladders and steps leading straight down into the water for a swim. Visitors describe Le Minimum as a relaxed, see-and-be-seen terrace, and local queer guides report a friendly, queer-welcoming crowd.
