During the February holidays Alessio and I went to visit the Charlie Chaplin House and Museum, which is situated in Vevey.
To be quite honest I did not know hardly anything about Charlie Chaplin except his movies and that he was married quite a few times. But this was remedied and I learnt quite a lot about him.
Charlie Chaplin moved to Switzerland in 1953 and stayed until 1977 when he died. He lived in a large house overlooking Lake Geneva in Vevey. He lived with his wife Oona O`Neil and they had 8 children.
The house is lovely and you see the furnishing, ornaments, pictures and photos from the family. Each room has written information about what you can see. The views of the garden are very nice too, we also walked around them too.
Once you have visited the house, there is a short movie about his life and then you go to the museum part. In the museum it is all about his life as an actor and his movies. There is lots to take in and read, and you can see things from his movies.
We both really enjoyed the visit and would recommend it, even if you don't know much about him and his life. You can buy tickets online and it saves you a bit of money and time. You can take a bus to the house/ museum and the stop it right at the gate.
Wishing you all a fab Easter break
