Comments on: Vevey: More than the Market http://mykugelhopf.ch/2009/08/vevey-more-than-the-market/ When your passions are food and travel Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:01:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Jean-Louis Bolomey http://mykugelhopf.ch/2009/08/vevey-more-than-the-market/comment-page-1/#comment-3053 Jean-Louis Bolomey Tue, 06 Oct 2009 09:49:30 +0000 http://mykugelhopf.ch/?p=3182#comment-3053 What a lovely town! In fact, probably one of the the most beautiful towns in the Canton of Vaud. And the Marchés Folkloriques during the months of July and August are marvellous - lots of folk musique and you pay 9 francs for a glass with which you can then drink the local wine to your heart's content. By the way....for our English friends, the men who judged and executed King Charles I are buried in St Martin's church in Vevey. And Graham Greene, James Mason, A.J. Cronin and Charly Chaplin are all buried in the local graveyards. What a lovely town! In fact, probably one of the the most beautiful towns in the Canton of Vaud.

While I missed the laiterie & confiserie (what was I thinking?) we did get to the Swiss Photography Museum. It's is well worth a return trip, as it deserves a proper meander (something we didn't have the luxury for, as we arrived an hour before closing time).

I hope you enjoyed your local farmer's market during these summer months when it was open. For the rest of the year, don't worry - I will certainly enjoy for us both. El, you're right - whatever type of art you appreciate, the fork is just pure fun ! :) Beth, thanks! Great suggestion for Montreux. And guess what - I actually visited the Chateau de Chillon back in 1999 too !! So funny! I remember being totally wowed by the exterior as well, just so gorgeous. Definitely time to revisit...! jkiel, Vevey will be for your next trip to Switzerland then! I hope you enjoyed your local farmer’s market during these summer months when it was open.

Love the Fork! If you do go to Montreux soon - The Chateau de Chillon is a great attraction. I'm sure you've already heard of it. I visited the site in 1999 during a whirlwind European adventure and for just the photos of the outside alone it's worth the trip. http://www.chillon.ch/en/. Great post! Love the Fork!

The places look great. And while I prefer classical art- I like the fork. It's fun. Thanks for the links. The places look great. And while I prefer classical art- I like the fork. It’s fun.

So close! These markets are among the best things about Europe, in my opinion... we have a farmer's market here, but it's only available a couple of months each summer. Enjoy for me! ah, I wish I’d known about this when we were in Torgon! So close!

But hey, you said you haven't been there in a long time, so that just means it's time for a visit ! And you are so right - sometimes we all ignore the amazing things that are so close by, looking to explore further away ! Maya, I don't know it in its entirety, but the French part of Switzerland seems absolutely beautiful too with so many different areas to explore - and good food and wine wherever you go I am sure ! Then again, when you have the French Riviera as a destination, I do understand not wanting to stop anywhere else on the way ! :) cj, I'm so glad you discovered my blog too. Food, travel and photos - what more is there to life ?! haha! Sean, ok ok, yes the fork is weird. I'll give you that. :) I appreciate the the kudos on the photography, especially coming from you.

Funny that I was never that attracted to the French part of Switzerland. Go figure! It looks so lovely. I used to drive straight through on my way to vacation at the French Riviera.
