Lutry is located on the northern shores of Lake Geneva, only about five km east of Lausanne. The village lies at the foot of the Jorat highlands, which are well covered with forests. Part of the western wine-growing region of Lavaux also belongs to medieval Lutry. The town center with its narrow streets and the old patrician houses of the 15th to 18th centuries are listed as historical monuments. Of the old fortifications, the 13th century Tour du Bourg-Neuf still exists on the western edge of the town. A 14th century castle stands on the northeast edge of the old town. Lutry has a landing stage for the CGN SA shipping company between Lausanne and Vevey.

“The castle was much bigger inside than expected, with amazing history and stunning artefacts. It was a great time of year to visit, not too crowded, and the whole experience was interesting. Walking where people walked hundreds of years ago felt humbling.”
“What a great museum. Full of so much history. The medals, the torches, the sports kit. Soooo cool”
“Great. We thought we would spend 1.5 to 2 hours with my 4-year-old daughter, but we ended up staying all afternoon.”
“Really great visit, well organized and interesting.”
“An immersive exhibition that touches the soul. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted, staying true to Chaplin's humanism. You feel connected to his world from the moment the film starts at the cinema, before gradually exploring each theme of his vast body of work. A body of work that rises above human foolishness through laughter, poetry, beauty, dreams, and unconditional love. Universal.”
“Diverse, flexible and always entertaining.”
