Good to know that Freddy Mercury liked to spent time in Montreux and that there is a statue to commemorate him. That's it. More

The Place du Marche with Freddie Mercury's memorialstatue is really a lovely place in Montreux. On a sunny day people sit near his statue on the Riviera and enjoy the beauty of this place. Definetly a place you have to visit when your in Montreux. More
