"The Trois Couronnes in Vevey Where Charlie Chaplin settled) along lake Geneva, is one of the beautifully updated 19th Century Old Dames hotels with the usual long list of who is who who stayed there Dostoievski, Gary Cooper etc etc etc.For us who live not too far away for a few months per year, the great attraction is their restaurant with a wonderful terrace overlooking the unmatched view of lake Geneva and the French Alps beyond. The service is excellent, the crisp white table cloth and napkins give a sense of well being, the French chef merits one star in the Michelin guide.To be seating on the terrace on a warm evening or a sunny day, eating excellent food and drinking the view, is a rare pleasure completed by excellent coffee, which as many of you will know is disappointing too many times.There is also an elegant adjoining bar with light snacks.It is well worth a visit.I picked a few photos from the brochure of the hotel as I did not have my camera, naturally they are not high quality duplicates but see website which does it justice."
