In 1803, when the canton vaud appeared, the population of Gimel was of 623 inhabitants. In 1862, a hotel and a lot of pensions opened; Gimel opted then for the tourist development.
Currently, the number of inhabitants is of 2052 and two busses connect the village with the line Lausanne-Geneva: the one rising from Rolle, the other one of Allaman via Aubonne. The village which is essentially composed of farms became an important craftmencenter.
