At the Montreux Lakeside Promenade

avatar

Montreux is a small town on the shoreline of Lake Geneva. Around an hour train ride from Geneva. Lake Geneva is 73 kms and the largest lake in the Western Europe region. Many small towns are on the shoreline of this Lake and they offer some scenic views of the place. Montreux is a small town yet famous for many things like one of the most famous ones is the Chillon Castle and the other is the Freddie Mercury - Queen - The Studio Experience and the Freddie Mercury memorial. Montreux also has a very good weather. In the summer time there is a Jazz festival that happens every year and is quite a craze across Switzerland. The guide told me that during this time Montreux is the only place in whole of Switzerland when the shops remain open till midnight.

On this day I was alone as hubby was busy with his office work, and I do enjoy once in a while being alone. I had planned a day trip to Montreux. The plan was to visit the Chaplin House in Vevey which is 15 minutes from Montreux by train and then come to Montreux, visit the Chillon Castle, Freddie Mercury studio, market area and then spend time at the promenade. It was a perfect day. Everything went smoothly as per the plan.

There are flower beds in patches alongside the promenade.

This is a hotel facing the Lake. I am sure people want to stay here for the views.

I guess this place is for the Jazz festival, where there would be performances happening.

The first look, I thought it was a real owl but a good look made me realize it was an artificial one

So impressive trip, the views are adorable.
Long time ago I went to Leman lake in Switzerland; i went on December vacation. It was cold as never imagined. I was in Leon France, the weather was a big different. But i keep a nice memory of that lake which is described by Hemingway in some passage of his novels.

Thank you for sharing!

A alone trip! 😄😄 The place look beautiful. Your shots are good though I can see some fog there.
I am surprised who took you selfie! If you hubby see the post, he might have the same question... XD 😂
