This weekend we decided to take in some locations around Lake Leman (aka Lake Geneva) - the 2nd largest lake in Western Europe. Chateau de Chillon is located right next to Montreux and is arguably the best preserved castle in Switzerland. We decided to eat lunch just up the street in Vevey - the home of Nestle and the city where Charlie Chaplin spent the last 25 years of his life. 20 miles up the road is Evian-les-Bains the home of Evian water. We took a nice city walking tour which led us a long the nice city streets and beautiful waterfront. Last stop was Thonon-les-Bains. Thonon is home to Chateau de Ripaille, but unfortunately we arrived too late for a visit. Lake Geneve obviously has lots of great locations to offer and they all have spectacular views of the lake and the Alps. Check out our pictures: The Chateau, Vevey, Evian, Thonon.
