Vevey is an elegant town on Lake Geneva's northeastern shore, combining belle époque architecture with a lively cultural scene. The lakeside promenade features the giant fork sculpture in the water, while the old town hosts a famous Tuesday and Saturday market. Vevey is home to the Alimentarium food museum and the nearby Chaplin's World.
