We are planning a jorney of 1+1 week aroung lake leman then lake como. Have a 4yo with us and plan to get from geneva to milan using train (only) for the sightseeing.Q: is the northen route around the lake then south ( geneva vevey montreux brig milan) the best for train scenery? Or a mt blanc route ( recommendation????). Another Q is where on lac leman should we " set camp" ? Ideally we would like to stay in 1 place and travel around the lake but where? Geneva laussanne vevey or montreux? Same Q for lake como. It has been quite a few years since i visited lake como so your recommendation is much appreciated. Travel time is midjuly to aug, money not a problem and thenn 3 week on cote d azur (again travelling by train....suggestions. many many thanks

Meant 3rd week on cotw dazur..
Vevey! -stay in Vevey is my best suggestion, it's smaller than Lausanne and much more easily walkable and more 'swiss' feeling than Montreux (which is more expensive generally and has more of an international feel about it). It's only a short bus (or train) ride between the two so easy to see one from the other (like to go to Chillon from Vevey for example).
Oh, I see you're a new poster on Fodor's. Welcome!
You will get many more replies if you re-post on the Europe destination forum (see "Change Forum" in blue at the top of your screen).
this "Travel Tips" branch is a catch-all for miscellaneous topics and not too many people read it.
