Sur les traces de nos hôtes célèbres, Montreux-Vevey

The didactic path “In the footsteps of our famous guests” lets visitors go off in search of celebrities and historic monuments through the town, the lakeside streets and the vineyards. Twenty-five benches await them on the way: each tells a story, declaims verses, cites a few phrases from a book or describes in the words of a writer the place where visitors choose to rest a while.

Charlie Chaplin, Graham Greene, Victor Hugo, Ernest Miller Hemingway and Jean-Jacques Rousseau will serve you as guides throughout this discovery walk of the places that inspired them.
