St-Saphorin

The vine-growing village of St-Saphorin (376 m/1,234ft: pop. 300), has beautiful old houses and a 16th C. church. This was originally a country seat of the bishops of Lausanne. In a house of 1705 opposite the church is the restaurant A l'Onde (old inn sign, 1750). The "traffic regulations for coaches" written on a "Pierre à sabot" (1812) in the Place du Peuplier make interesting reading.

From here the road then traverses the celebrated resorts of Vevey and Montreux.
