Vevey Pictures
Lake Geneva, Switzerland

Vevey's gorgeous shore on Lake Geneva [Lac Leman], west Switzerland, near Lausanne.

Just half an hour through the verdant vine terraces of Lavaux from looming, booming Lausanne is tiny and exquisite Vevey - particularly the lengthy and brilliant lakeshore path on a summer's day.
Mind you, on rainy days tourists might be hard pressed to find something interesting to do apart from eating and drinking...

One of the Lake Geneva paddle steamers steaming off [and they move!] to Lausanne. The lake, also known as Lac Leman, is the largest in Europe.

Vevey's annual, imported beach for the price of a drink. Not the real thing but a pleasure nevertheless.

Part of the immensely enjoyable and varied Vevey lakeside walk. Charley Chaplin and his wife Oona moved to Corsier-sur-Vevey village just up the road in the 1953 and never left. They are buried there along with Graham Greene [writer] and James Mason [actor].

A bar with a view. Make mine a double.

Vevey's port, dealing with pedalos, speedboats [well, not exactly speedy] and the occasional paddle steamer up by the solitary tree.
