The looks were interrogated and the back of the skull close to turning blood by dint of scratching it to find out from where the violent detonations, heard in the Vaudoise capital, came this Monday morning.
A first call to the city of Lausanne gives nothing and leads to a transfer of our call to Lausanne police forces. Again, no person to answer us. Radio silence.
Our investigation has lead in the wing and, to satisfy our curiosity, we decide to make a phone call to the spokesperson for the municipal police of Lausanne, Alexia Hagenlocher. The answer is direct, without burrs:
“We are April 14”
We, a coated hair in the face of this answer, retort a response of disarming subtlety: “Yes, and so?”
A memorable date
It is there, at this moment T, that our (in) culture is boxed and ko when our interlocutor gives us a little history lesson:
“On April 14, 1803, on that date, the Grand Council Vaud met for the first time”

Ouch, the faux-pas. Worse, it’s a real moment of loneliness. It was enough to make a jump on the canton site and to feed our general culture. As the Vaudois authorities pointed out on April 14, 1803, The first major Vaud council met for the first time at the town hall of Lausanne.
And to specify:
“In accordance with the Vaudois protocol, the Vaudois flags of public buildings are wooded on April 14, as on January 24 and August 1. The traditional shot of a salvo of 26 cannon shots in Lausanne will take place in Sauvabelin. ”
A little humility never hurts, as well as repeating his lesson in Vaudoise history so as not to pass for an ignorant of first. As the other would say: next time, we will know.
