In 1952, Charlie Chaplin chose to settle at the Manoir de Ban in Corsier-sur-Vevey with his wife and children, 4 of whom were born in Switzerland. He lived there happily until 1977. In his memory, the famous bronze statue of The Tramp, created by the British sculptor John Doubleday, has been sitting on the quays of Vevey since 1982.

Fork of Vevey

Fork of Vevey is an 8-metre-tall (26 ft), 1.3-metre-wide (4.3 ft) stainless steel fork on the shore of Lake Geneva in Vevey, Switzerland. Fork of Vevey is a part of the Alimentarium, a Vevey-based museum with a permanent exhibition on food and Nestlé's history. The fork was initially created in 1995 by the Swiss artist Jean-Pierre Zaugg to mark the Alimentarium’s tenth anniversary. The fork was removed in 1996 but reinstated about a decade later, following a public petition. Since 2014 Fork of Vevey is a Guinness World Record holder as the world’s tallest fork.
