My son was a student in Montreux for 3 years, I found Switzerland very expensive, especialy eating out, Come down here for a weekend and find out for yourself, (A 2/3 course menu of the day includes wine & bread. 7-50 Euros!)
I can take you to a place on the front line,overlooking the Med. where you can buy a beer (30cl) or a freshly made coffee or a mineral water, price?, 1 Euro, glass of wine 1-60€.
