Part 2 of Fodor’s Vaud chapter is the Riviera payoff. Lavaux terraces, Vevey’s literary ghosts, Montreux jazz, Chillon castle, and a full “Eating Well” sidebar that reads like a local food cheat sheet. After lake towns and Lausanne’s hills, this is the stretch most people picture when they say “Lake Geneva.”

Vaud (say “voh”) is the French-speaking lake canton where culture, wine, and water meet. Fodor’s Part 1 covers the welcome essay, La Côte shoreline from Nyon toward Lausanne, and the start of the capital city. If Valais is peaks, Vaud is promenades, steamers, and hillside vineyards.
