Montreux

Today, we decided to take another day trip to Montreux. Montreux is a little over an hour drive away from Geneva and is right on the lake. It is home to a famous Jazz festival, which ended last weekend.

We had a relaxing morning at home and then left for Montreux mid-morning. S enjoyed the car ride and told us all about what she was seeing during the drive. The drive itself is beautiful too - lots of nice views of the lake and various towns to go back and see.

We arrived at Montreux and took a quick walk along the lake. We were hungry and saw a pizzeria so decided to eat there - they sat us right next to the window where the chef was making the pizzas, which S loved. After a good lunch, we went back to the lake area and S noticed a fun kid's ride right away. We bought the ticket and S was quickly on the front car (a train!). She really enjoyed the ride.

We then went for a walk through the market on the lake and continued down through the town. S enjoyed looking at all of the flowers and also seeing the ducks right on the water. After a nice walk, we stopped for some gelato and then decided to head home. S slept the whole way.


We will definitely go back to spend more time there and also enjoy some of the other things to do from Montreux.
