While elsewhere winter still reigns deep, here the first signs of spring are already emerging. Dreamy.

Montreux Covered Market, Montreux Built at the end of the 19th century, the "Marché Couvert" (Covered Market) was a gift to the city of Montreux from Henri Nestlé. The metal structure of the market hall is inspired by the famous Halles de Victor Baltard in Paris. Located directly on the lake and just steps from most hotels, it is the ideal venue for your event. The market hall can accommodate 800 people for a dinner and 1,000 for a cocktail party. Text / Source: Montreux-Vevey Tourism https://www.montreuxriviera.com/de/P75746/marche-couvert-de-montreux

The Belle Époque ships have been sailing on Central Europe's largest lake for 140 years, offering enchanting cruises between France and Switzerland. The views from the ships stretch from harbors and castles (Chillon, Morges, Rolle, Yvoire, etc.) across vineyards (Lavaux UNESCO World Heritage Site and La Côte) to the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and Savoy Alps. The ships' docks serve as starting points for fascinating city tours (Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux, Vevey) and attractive excursions.

Montreux – CGN – Lake Geneva Cruises For a romantic or gourmet cruise, or simply to cross Lake Geneva: the ships of the Compagnie Générale de Navigation (CGN) are a must during your holiday in Switzerland. Take a boat from Lausanne-Ouchy that will take you to one of the forty ports on the Swiss and French shores.

People come here for the pier to Montreux or Lausanne, for the swans and the pedalos, for the magnificent private mansion which has just been tastefully renovated, but especially for the grenette and its folk market on Saturdays in July-August, where you buy your glass and then fill it and empty it as many times as you want between 10am and 1pm, in the atmosphere of music and folk costumes!

Clean and tidy "à la suisse", in good taste and inspiring respect and serenity, Swiss public buildings reassure and invite a healthy conviviality which never excludes, on the Vaudois side, the pleasures of the table and especially good wine!
