Sightseeing
In Charlie Chaplin’s former estate (which he moved to after effectively being exiled from the US in 1953), Chaplin’s World is the only museum dedicated to the revered comic actor and film-maker. Even if you’re not a devoted fan, it’s worth visiting this interactive museum. Peppered with letters, photos and original furnishings, the home is also filled with lifelike wax figures of Chaplin and his famous friends (such as Marilyn Monroe and Albert Einstein). Recorded television performances and home movies of Chaplin and his family are enthralling. A nearby complex holds recreations of Hollywood film stages from his movies, where guests are encouraged to act out some of his most famous scenes. https://www.chaplinsworld.com/en

Vevey promenade: On the north-eastern shore of Lake Geneva, Vevey offers mountain views at every turn. For the most picturesque stroll, head to the town’s lakeside, tree-lined promenade (Quai Perdonnet). It passes along the old town and by some of the town’s museums – plus a couple of tiny parks. Keep an eye out for the bronze Chaplin statue (near the Alimentarium food museum), as well as the huge silver fork sculpture rising out of the lake.

Food scene
A local favourite, this wine bar is worth the 10-minute drive out of Vevey. Amid the Lavaux vineyards, it serves up the area’s largest selection of local vintages (many not usually available by the glass). It’s a wonderful way to sample the region’s wines. It also has a superb range of meats, honey and cheese from local farms. It’s not unusual to run into one of the wine-makers from a nearby winery regaling guests with tales of the harvest while acting as bartender for the day. If unsure what to order, try a glass of chasselas; this refreshing white varietal is the darling of the Swiss wine world.
