The Swiss Riviera
Description:
1. We will go to the most picturesque place on Lake Geneva for a photo.
2. Visit the Chillon Castle with a thousand-year history. There's a place here that's funny and horrible. For example, in the latrines of the dukes there are samples of posters of the XVI century promoting and explaining how to use pots and umbrellas. In the dungeon spent 6 years, the Geneva patriot, whose history of struggle and imprisonment in the castle so impressed Lord Byron that he wrote the poem “The Prisoner of Chillen”. The torture room is located next to the pre-trial detention center with a stone bag.
3. Montreux. We will walk along the famous promenade with palm trees and pines, honor the memory of Fredy Mercury, see the hotel where Nabokov lived his last years. A city whose streets keep traces of Diaghilev and Nijinsky, Scriabin and Stravinsky, Marina Tsvetaeva, Evno Azef, Elizabeth of Austria and many other bright personalities. You can have lunch in Montreux.
4. Veve. Aristocratic resort town with no less beautiful promenade. The city of absolute happiness for Charlie Chaplin, longing for Dostoevsky, fun for Gogol. A city whose watchmakers carefully craft a message to the watchmakers of the future. There is a Russian church "Great Martyr Barbara". The museum of "food products" A huge fork sticks out of the water. Immediately we are greeted by the monument to Chaplin in his tramp costume.
5. Wine tasting in the Lavo vineyards (if an 8-hour excursion is ordered)
6. Approaching Lausanne, we will be able to stop on the embankment of Usi and walk through the park near the Museum of the Olympic movement. In Lausanne, it would be a great luck to get to the Notre Dame Cathedral for an organ concert, to see one of the most beautiful portals in Europe and two tombs of two Russian Catherine. The view of the city from the observation deck of the cathedral is always beautiful. Returning to Geneva, I will tell you legends and tales in which real events were encrypted.
