Chaplin's World
The estate where Chaplin spent his last 25 years in Vevey, converted into an immersive museum combining his former home with film sets.
After leaving the United States in 1952, Chaplin settled at the Manoir de Ban estate near Vevey, Switzerland, and lived there until his death in 1977. Opened in 2016 as Chaplin’s World, the house recreates the family life of its former residents, while the studio section rebuilds film sets from The Kid and Modern Times, with many life-size wax figures for photos. The estate lawn offers views of the lake. Admission is about CHF 30, and booking online is recommended. Opening hours are roughly 10:00–18:00 daily. From Geneva, take a train for about 1 hour to Vevey, then bus line 212 for about 15 minutes. Along the Vevey lakeside, there is a Chaplin bronze statue and the giant fork planted in the lake.
