ENCOUNTERS AND DISCOVERIES
On the way, benches dedicated to famous people who once stayed in the region offer you the opportunity to learn more about them. Discover what inspired them and what connects them to Montreux Riviera by reading a passage from their life through one of their works or letters, while visiting the places that they once visited.AN INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE
In order to enjoy Rencontres & Inspiration fully there is an application to guide you using your smartphone or a tablet. At each bench, anecdotes and exclusive multimedia content will give you an additional overview of each famous person.
