Charlie Chaplin's adopted home on the Swiss Riviera, where the comedian lived his final 25 years. Chaplin's World museum occupies his former estate. The town hosts the Fête des Vignerons wine festival (once every 20+ years) and Nestlé's global headquarters. A giant fork sculpture planted in the lake has become an iconic landmark of the Swiss Riviera.
