In the town of Vevey, perched between Mount Pélerin and Lake Geneva, Switzerlnad

 "The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost." -- Charlie Chaplin

==========================================
(in Switzerland( A landlocked country of towering mountains, deep Alpine lakes, grassy valleys dotted with neat farms and small villages, and thriving cities that blend the old and the new, Switzerland is the nexus of the diverse physical and cultural geography of western Europe, renowned for both its natural beauty and its way of life. Aspects of both have become bywords for the country, whose very name conjures images of the glacier-carved Alps beloved of writers, artists, photographers, and outdoor sports enthusiasts from around the world. The Swiss call the stretch of shore of Lake Geneva that runs from Lausanne through Vevey and on to Montreux the Swiss Riviera, a name that evokes waterfront vistas and carefree exclusivity to people around the world. A long list of celebrities from royalty to the arts have elected domicile here. Calling the area undiscovered is perhaps an exaggeration, but it is often overlooked. Lausanne is no more than an hour from Geneva by train and Vevey just a few minutes further, but many visitors sail through on their way to the slopes of Zermatt and Verbier without setting foot on the lakeshore. (If only they knew what they were missing!)

+ Featured here is Vevey, on the Swiss Riviera, which is perched between Mount Pélerin and Lake Geneva. Writers, artists, and intellectuals have long been attracted to the village: Henry James's "Daisy Miller" is set here (you can still stay at the Hotel des Trois Couronnes) and Charlie Chaplin made nearby Corsier his home (for the last 25 years of his life). Though Vevey is the world-headquarters for Nestlé, it still retains its old-world charm. To see for yourself, stroll the alleyways of its Old Town, visit the fine art collection at the Musée Suisse du Jeu, and shop at the busy local market.
