(From Vevey-Marché (lac) we caught a ferry boat to the Castle of Chillon which is at the far side of Montreux)
Taking a ferry on Lac Leman is the best way to view the beautiful houses and architecture along the shoreline.
Floral displays on every one of the ferry terminals.
Freddie Mercury
Hotel Fairmont Le Montreux Palace
Hôtel Eden Palace Au Lac
A glimpse of the hotels in Montreux and the famous statue of Queen singer, Freddie Mercury.
“If you want peace of mind, come to Montreux”, said Freddie Mercury (1946-1991). As well as living in Montreux, he also recorded six albums there with Queen, including “Made in Heaven”. In memory of his presence, Freddie Mercury’s bronze statue has stood on the lakeside promenade since 1996.
And a unique way to arrive at our destination.
TRAVEL WORDS 
I didn’t know about the Freddie connection, but the ferry boat looks lovely, like something from a gentler time.
Best wishes, Pete. x
The Belle Epoque boats are stunning. Sadly we didn’t have one of those on this trip.
Stunning Switzerland and oh so expensive. My cousin and family lived there for a quite awhile as he worked for the Red Cross. One of our best housesits was in Swizerland and they moved to Spain and so did their housesitters. Whoops, off track again. Arriving by water is wonderful though the pulling a sledge in deep snow sounds challenging 😉
It is extremely expensive, but a beautiful country.
Isn’t it pretty, and what a fun way to travel around and see the sights of the city.
I did enjoy my visit to Switzerland and especially on the ferry boats. A relaxing way to travel.
