Lausanne, the capital of the canton of Vaud, climbs steeply from the shore of Lake Geneva at Ouchy past the cathedral and on up the hill; its m2 metro line tackles the gradient. The city is French-speaking and home to the International Olympic Committee. The University of Lausanne and EPFL, just to the west, bring a large student population, and many students look for side jobs such as tutoring, babysitting or help with moving. Most homes are rented flats. In Vaud, tenancies customarily end on 1 April, 1 July or 1 October at noon, when the flat must be handed back clean and emptied. End-of-tenancy cleaning (nettoyage de fin de bail) and moving help are in demand around those days.
