A green lung in the heart of the city. The former industrial district, behind the Vevey train station. In the 19th century, it was bustling with a microcosm of small industries, including the first factory of Henri Nestlé. It is here that Cailler chocolates and powdered milk were born. Then, there was a bakery, a dairy, tin workshops, a printing house, and a tobacco factory. A little later, on the other side of the Veveyse river, the Mechanical Workshops of Vevey kept this district alive. Today, this part of the city is undergoing transformation and gradually making way for housing projects. On a plot of 6,159 square meters that now hosts the Jardins Coeur de ville, a forty-meter-high silo dating from 1958 has been demolished to allow for the rehabilitation of this neighborhood.
Although located in the heart of the city, next to the train station and all amenities, this new complex offers a space of tranquility. The site is bordered to the East by the hill of St-Martin, the patron of the city, and its thickets of dense trees that provide a sense of calm and offer an additional green escape. To the West, the Veveyse flows quietly.
