Corsier-sur-Vevey

Corsier-sur-Vevey spans 1.06 square kilometers along the right bank of the Veveyse River, offering views of Lake Geneva and the Alps at 420 meters elevation.

First documented in 1079 as Corise, the municipality maintained its original name until 1953 when it officially became Corsier-sur-Vevey to distinguish itself from other locations.

The municipality houses the Manoir de Ban and Café De La Place, both recognized as heritage sites of national importance within the Swiss cultural landscape.

The town connects to major cities through reliable public transportation, while local services include primary schools, medical facilities, and shopping establishments for daily needs.

Charlie Chaplin selected this municipality as his final residence from 1953 until 1977, and his grave remains in the local cemetery alongside actor James Mason.
