Prilly

Prilly is a municipality in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland, in the district of Ouest Lausannois, and one of the western suburbs of the city of Lausanne. It is first mentioned around 976 to 977 as in uilla que uocatur presliacus and was known as Prillie by 1185. The municipality belonged to the Lausanne District until that district was dissolved on 31 August 2006, after which it became part of the new Ouest Lausannois district. The village grew along the Lausanne to Jougne road and now forms part of the Lausanne agglomeration, consisting of Prilly itself and the hamlets of Le Chasseur, La Fleur-de-Lys and L'Union, which developed along the road to Neuchâtel. Most of its small area of about 2.2 square kilometres is built up.
