We will be on a several week trip around France in April and May. We will be traveling by train. Mid May we’re planning on 3 nights in Chamonix. From there we are looking to head towards Dijon and back to Paris. It looks like taking the train to Montreux is efficient and an opportunity to spend a couple of days right on the lake. However as I try to find out more information and hotel options from guide books, there is very little information, if any.
Is Montreux a good town to stay and explore? Should we go to Lausanne instead? Or backtrack back from Chamonix to Geneva and head north from there? We are still very flexible in our plans. Our final destination is Amsterdam for our flight home.
We are an older couple, travel a lot, and have traveled a few times throughout France and Switzerland so we’re looking for new places to enjoy.
