Le Flon (Lausanne)
Le Flon is a district of the city of Lausanne, in Switzerland. It is served by Lausanne Métro lines 1 and 2 from Lausanne-Flon station. Location This area is in the bowl of a valley that has been filled. A river, also named Flon, once flowed through this valley and now runs underground. The area is situated in the central neighborhood of Lausanne. History The Flon was once a wooded and uninhabited valley.

Härjedalen
Härjedalen (; no, Herjådalen or ) is a historical province (''landskap'') in the centre of Sweden.
