Montreux
Swiss lakeside town
Montreux is a town on the eastern shore of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, known for its mild climate and Belle Époque architecture.
It hosts the Montreux Jazz Festival, one of the world's most prominent music festivals, held annually since 1967.
The town appears in rock history through Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water," which describes a casino fire there.
