The small town of Vevey in Switzerland is known as a paradise on earth. Here you can experience many extremely impressive pictures and scenes. You can take a walk in the town and breathe the fresh air with the sweet natural smell of the mountains.
is flowing.
Vevey is a small town in western Switzerland, located on the east coast of Lake Geneva, between Lausanne and Montreux. It was first a Roman settlement and later developed into a trading center. It is not only a famous health resort, but also has a prominent food processing industry.
Famous, in fact, Vevey has a very sweet nickname: Chocolate City.
Nestlé, a leading company in the food industry, is headquartered in Vevey.
Nestlé is the world's number one food company in terms of popularity and sales: it has 479 factories in 81 countries around the world, with more than 22,000 product types and 225,000 employees.
Although the business has spread all over the world, the roots have always been at the original place. In order to understand Nestlé’s original intention, we deliberately visited this low-key headquarters, the Nestlé Food Discovery Center, during our trip to Vevey.
Nestlé was founded in 1876, and the Food Discovery Center is located where founder Henri Nestlé first developed baby cereal in 1866.
The Discovery Center covers an area of ??3,000 square meters. The space design is light and smooth, creating an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and futuristic. When you are in it, you will easily have the feeling of traveling freely between the past and the future. At the same time, it is easy to immerse yourself in the 150 years of Nestlé.
In the long history.
In the display space, through magnificent multimedia, we can quickly learn about Nestlé's products, as well as other food-related topics, such as resource management or the relationship between water and products.
But what we like to see the most is the packaging and advertising design of Nestlé products over the years. Many classic elements are still fashionable even today, which shows that truly classic things will never go out of style.
Nestlé’s food trucks are colorful and scattered throughout the center. You can ride on them at any time to experience the happy life of selling food and happiness.
When traveling to Vevey, no one will miss the scenery of Lake Leman. If you walk along the lakeside, you will definitely see the giant fork, standing straight in the middle of the lake, among the blue sky and blue water.
Beautiful sparkle alone in front of background.
There are a few white chairs thoughtfully placed on the shore near where the fork is. If you walk over and sit on them, you will instantly have the most beautiful dining scenery on Lake Leman. Hey, it would be nice to have more dining tables.
Although the fork has a strong presence, it is in no way inconsistent with Lake Leman. It is a strange and indescribable harmony.
Probably because the fork exists as a symbol of the foodie capital of Vevey? Across the road from the lake where the fork is located is the Alimentarium Food Museum, and the big fork is the symbol of the museum.
This is the only museum in the world that focuses on catering culture. The museum uses vivid content and forms to show people the local and foreign, past and modern food cultures.
The third highlight of Vevey is naturally the comedy master Chaplin. This is his final retirement place - he lived here for 25 years and passed away here in 1977. In memory of Chaplin, the local community has built a memorial for him on the lake.
A statue with the same height as a real person stood beside him, showing his most classic pose.
The statue is very close to the Big Fork, so it’s pretty easy to find.
Vevey has a beautiful environment, a suitable climate, and is a small town with an extremely rich aroma of rice. No wonder it has become the most famous capital of sheep placenta in Switzerland. Rich and noble people from all over the world have flocked here to get the injection - including Chaplin.
