After we returned to Montreux from Gruyères and Broc, I decided to visit another city on the Swiss Riviera: Vevey. It is approximately 10 minutes by train from Montreux. The only thing that I knew about Vevey was that Charlie Chaplin had lived there. So everything was going to be new for me.
All of the photos below were taken with an iPhone 7. When I got on the train, I realized that I left my camera behind.
