Switzerland is without a doubt an unsung hero of Western Europe - and we here at All Study Abroad are not quite sure why! Sure, many people may have heard of the majestic beauty of the Swiss Alps, or that French, German, and Italian are all spoken there, but what else does Switzerland have to offer a French student looking to break up the monotony?
Look no further than the breathtaking town of Montreux..
One might hear "Switzerland," and automatically envision a frozen tundra with sideways-blowing snow. Such may be the case mid-Winter at high altitudes, but the varied regions of Switzerland offer a temperate climate and lots of different activities to complement French study, and the town of Montreux will surely exceed your expectations.
Towns surrounding Lake Geneva such as Montreux are popular destinations due to the large availability of boating, small towns and villages to explore, vineyards to tour, chocolate and cheese to taste, and more. Tourists and native Swiss alike flock to the area every summer for the Montreux Jazz Festival, and several internationally known entertainers have made the wise decision to call Montreux home (Vladmir Nabokov, Freddie Mercury [of whom there is a large bronze statue], and Shania Twain, to name a few!)
