Montreux Marché de Noël

We had looked forward to the Marché de Noël (Christmas Market) for a long time, and we finally got the chance to visit this week in Montreux; we were not disappointed. Montreux hosts a very large Marché de Noël that includes endless wooden huts with vendors selling beautiful gifts, many hand crafted. I love the sight and smell of all the tradional foods, including the fondue we enjoyed for dinner, roasted chestnuts, grilled sausages, hearty soups, and of course, Glühwein, a warm spiced wine. And it would not be Montreux if there was not a jazz band playing favorite and familiar tunes -- I am looking forward to the Montreux Jazz Festival in July. Max, Ali, and I even rode a huge ferris wheel and got the birds-eye view of the market. It was a lot of fun and we were a bunch of tired puppies on the train ride home to Nyon.
