When Charlie Chaplin died at the age of 88 at his Swiss home, he left behind a legacy unparalleled in the history of cinema. In Vevey, Switzerland, on the shores of Lake Geneva, there stands a statue honoring the legendary actor and director...
The statue of Chaplin (twirling his cane and wearing his familiar bowler hat) stands alongside the rosebushes on the Quai Perdonnet near Place du Marche. Chaplin lived in the nearby town of Corsier from 1953 until his death in 1977. He is buried in the Corsier-sur-Vevey town cemetery.
