Glamorous Montreaux is without a doubt the most fashionable resort on the Swiss Riviera, as it has been for centuries, since the glory days of romantic literature, when gloomy suicidal poet Byron wrote at Chateau de Chillon, and equally gloomy (although not so suicidal) poet cum author Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein.
Travellers from all over the world flock to the shores of Lake Geneva, and during the summer, there are few more pleasant and picturesque places to relax on a beach.
Every July, Montreaux hosts a famous music festival should you be interested in all that jazz.
