    About this ebook

    The main Montreux Christmas Market - Marché de Noël in French - is called the Lakeside Christmas Market.

    In this enchanting setting, extending for more than one kilometer along Lake Geneva's shoreline, you will find 170 stalls with crafts, tastings of local specialties, mulled wine and thousands of gift ideas. The size is as in a big German or Austrian city!


    Compared to other Christmas markets Montreux has more personal luxury items than traditional warm winter clothes.

    There does not appear to be an official Nativity as we have seen in the Catholic lands like Luxembourg, Austria and Bavaria. But also, the Nativity is not banned as in Strasbourg.
