Montreux
Not only the city offers great lakeside promenades but is famous for its annual music festivals, particularly Jazz Festival. It’s not a coincidence that Freddie Mercury settled down in Montreux to record his songs in this musical environment.
I think you should make a video about this on YouTube…
That’s an interesting idea. I will think about it:)
