Chaplin’s World and the Vevey Riviera

Leaving Lausanne-Ouchy, it’s a 19 km drive along the lakeside road through Lutry and Cully before curling above the UNESCO-listed Lavaux terraces and dropping into Corsier-sur-Vevey. Vine rows step down to Lake Geneva at 400–500 m, slate roofs glint, and the route sets up the day: the Manoir de Ban where Charlie Chaplin settled from 1953, then Vevey’s waterfront with Nestlé’s Alimentarium museum (opened 1985) and the 8‑meter Fork by sculptor Jean‑Pierre Zaugg.

Your private driver in Lausanne collects you at the hotel and stays on call throughout: he handles traffic, drop-offs, and waiting while you tour Chaplin’s World, stroll the park to the recreated studio, then take a coffee on Vevey’s Grand-Place with the Dents du Midi in sight. The plan is flexible—photo pauses in Dézaley’s vines, a tasting in Rivaz if you wish—and you return via the Saint-Saphorin balcony road as the light softens over the lake.
