Lionel Meylan lights up Lausanne’s Place de la Palud with a brand-new boutique set in a historic building

A major renovation project – a continuation of the company’s history

For several months, the façade of 1, place de la Palud was carefully protected from view and restored by the Chevrier Caprara company, which brought its exceptional expertise to bear. This complex renovation work, both inside and out, was meticulously carried out by local companies – under the direction of MB Architectes Sàrl. However, the store has always remained open to customers. The project reflects the Meylan family’s commitment to excellence and attention to detail. The boutique now boasts a refined, modern aesthetic, while preserving the charm and appeal of its historic location.Moving from the shadows to the light, the building now boasts a bright, attractive storefront featuring large display windows, showcasing the watch and jewelry brands represented by Lionel Meylan.

A cutting-edge selection, a professional, friendly and generous welcome

With over 30 years’ experience, Lionel Meylan SA, run by the duo Yannick and Julien Meylan, currently has four points of sale, cleverly mixed between Lausanne: Boutique Breitling and Place de la Palud, and Vevey: rue de Lausanne and rue des Deux-Marchés.

As in all its other outlets, the Place de la Palud boutique offers customers a wide range of services and the most attentive customer advice. For many years now, the company has also been developing a jewelry division, with the creation of made-to-measure jewelry, a line exclusive to the Lionel Meylan brand. An all-female team of jewelers and gemologists oversees this workshop, dedicated to the creativity and desires of both loyal customers and visiting international clientele.

Julien and Yannick Meylan have this to say about the reopening: “We’re delighted, and we feel privileged to be able to undertake our business with such serenity, and to contribute to our own development, as well as that of an important city like Lausanne. It has always been important to us to be able to welcome our customers in the way we would like to be received: with kindness, professionalism, seriousness and competence. It’s a new chapter we’re beginning to write, with all the prerequisites for solid development, for us, but above all for our valued and loyal customers.”
Customers can expect to discover a carefully chosen selection of high-quality products, from watches to jewelry and other luxury accessories. The new space offers a welcoming atmosphere, where tradition is cultivated and respected, but also every effort is made to push the customer experience into 2.0 mode, creating an incomparable shopping experience.

The Meylan family, Lionel, Yannick and Julien, and their teams are delighted to inaugurate this new chapter
in the history of Lionel Meylan in Lausanne, and look forward to welcoming their valued customers to this renovated and elegant
.
