Le Manoir de Ban - Naissance d'un Paradis

Pourquoi n'y aurait-il pas dans le temps comme dans l'espace des oasis ? Au-dessus de Vevey, petite ville blottie au bord du lac Léman, s'élève un plateau au milieu des vignobles. Fermiers et seigneurs l'ont occupé avant qu'une demeure de style colonial n'y soil construite vers 1840. Elle a vu se succéder un notable de Saint-Gall, un célibataire rentier, un maître horloger, un industriel et dramaturge, un diplomate américain et le plus grand cinéaste de tous les temps : Charlie Chaplin. Tous ont été conquis par la magie des lieux face à l'un des plus beaux panoramas du monde. Sur ce belvédère unique, ils ont découvert un paradis. C'est désormais au lecteur, à travers ces pages, d'en arpenter chaque recoin, d'en découvrir l'histoire et de le peupler de ses rêves, comme les milliers de personnes venues du monde entier pour visiter le Manoir de Ban ou Chaplin's World.

Le Manoir de Ban Birth of a Paradise

Why couldn't there be oases in time as well as in space ? Above Vevey, a little town snuggled up on the Lake Geneva shore, a plateau rises amid vineyards. Farmers and lords occupied it before a colonial-style house was built there around 1840. That residence was successively home to a prominent citizen from St. Gallen and his family, an unmarried man of private
means, a master watchmaker, an industrialist and playwright, an American diplomat, and the greatest film-maker of all time : Charlie Chaplin. All of them were captivated by the magic of the property looking out on one of the world's most beautiful panoramas. On the site of this unique belvedere, they discovered an earthly paradise. From this point on, it is up to the reader, through these pages, to roam every nook and corner of the place, to discover the history and populate it with his or her dreams, as have thousands of people who have come from all over the world to visit the Manoir de Ban or Chaplin's World.
