Vevey, Switzerland

We have just spent a great week in Vevey and I had not realised until now how much that area offers!

Exploring the town itself was very interesting.
It has a beautiful lakeside setting......



with some interesting museums like the Toy Museum



and the Alimentarium 



a food museum owned by Nestle.



.....here we had one of the best lunches we have had in Switzerland!


I should point out that eating out in a very ordinary restaurant in Switzerland is quite expensive....and not necessarily excellent.  Good produce but.........

This was a set 3 course menu for 18CHF.  Most main dishes run at least that in ordinary restaurants!





and the wine, which was good , was just 4 CHF a glass.



we will return.......



Vevey is within very easy reach of the Chateau de Chillon.....







and the Fondation Gianadda in Martigny which arranges fantastic exhibits.

The exhibition there at the moment is exceptional.......


.......and we are hoping that the wine is also good!  We liked the labels!!





.............and we loved the grafitti art murals.............
