The Manoir: Charlie Chaplin behind closed doors
The 500 m² staging of the Manoir is dedicated entirely to Charlie Chaplin the man, and to his daily life. Some rooms in the Manoir have been recreated with furnishings and personal items. During the tour, you will learn about the family life around Charlie and gain insight into the reasons that led him to Switzerland, how he was welcomed, how he lived with his family during the last 25 years of his life, and how much he appreciated it. In the dining room, you will learn about the family’s daily life, including culinary traditions and the parties and many celebrity guests invited into the home.
The Studio: Welcome to Hollywood!
The Studio is a 1350 m² structure built on the estate to present the cinematographic world of the artist, actor, and filmmaker. The tour starts with a montage of images tracing Chaplin’s life and work. It continues on against a backdrop of 20th-century history, moving on to a street right out of an Easy Street decor, one of the most emblematic settings of his movies.
The Park
A 10-acre park surrounds the Manoir and the Studio, offering a breathtaking view overlooking Lake Leman and the Alps. It is evocative of the special relationship that Chaplin cultivated with nature, in particular the mountainous landscapes, the lake, and the vineyards that surrounded his estate.
The Shop
Come into Chaplin’s old Bentley garage and browse through a range of exclusive souvenirs. Here you will find quality products reflecting the life and work of Charlie Chaplin, including every one of his DVDs and box sets, and his celebrated movie posters.
