Renens

The landscape around Renens is a densely developed terrace between Lake Geneva and the Jura foothills, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. This Vaud municipality forms part of the Lausanne agglomeration, with its station serving as an important interchange for national rail services, the M1 metro and regional buses. Renens grew from a rural settlement into an industrial and railway town during the 19th and 20th centuries; that working history remains visible in its compact streets and redeveloped areas. The Rayon Vert footbridge, opened in 2022, crosses the rail tracks at Renens station and improves links between its northern and southern sides. Nearby Ecublens hosts the campuses of EPFL and the University of Lausanne. Browse other webcams across Vaud to place Renens in a wider geographic context.
