Dating back to 1705, this 14-hectare estate was once owned by the noble and generous Michel de Crausaz, lord of the manor house in the parish of Corsier. The breathtaking architecture of the Manoir was designed by renowned architect Philippe Franel. Charlie Chaplin bought the Manoir on 31 December 1952, and it became the family home for the couple and their eight children.
During your visit, you'll be immersed in the unique atmosphere of this place steeped in history, living an immersive experience through its various rooms, which are filled with furniture and personal objects from the Chaplin family. You'll truly feel like a guest of the family. You might even see one of the family members appear.
