As I mentioned in a previous article, the Montreux Jazz festival 2010 will take place July 02-17th 2010. If I do not mistake a few artists are already annonced like Simply Red. 

A few days ago I received a newsletter from them showing us the new poster of this 2010 edition. It was created by Mr Romero Britto, a brasilian artist who currently lives in Miami.  He is nowadays one of the most famous Neo-Pop artist who does sculptures and paintings. 
He already created the poster of the Montreux Jazz festival 1999 and created the Montreux Sound Logo. 

More news about this artist on www.britto.com  

Do you like this poster ??? Personnally yes, I feel it is really fun. Let us know your thoughts about it with some comments. 

If you want to buy the poster, you can order it on www.montreuxjazz.com at the special rate of CHF. 39. -- instead of CHF. 49. -- 

If you already plan to visit the Montreux Jazz in 2010, visit their official website as they offer some kind of "early bird" special deals for various concerts and passes.    

From November 11th 2009, the restaurant Bellagio and the Sinatra's bar, both located at the Hotel Royal Plaza Montreux offer new restaurant menus with seasonal products.

Prepared by our new Chef, Mr Emmanuel Colier, this new menu is proposing classic dishes but mixed with some exotic touches like the Rolled smoked salmon served with wasabi milk, enoki and sprouts. 

Before to join the Royal Plaza Montreux, Emmanuel Colier worked in France for several michelin star restaurants. We are sure that Emmanuel will help us to reach a new level of food quality. 

I personnally tasted last week the "baked chicken breast" and that was amazing. I could easily cut the meat with a fork......the secret seems to be the cooking at low temperature !!!! 
I will try to convince him to give us some recipes that I will of course share with you. 

Below find enclosed these new cards.

Traditional fair of the Vevey Autumn, the Foire de la saint Martin takes places every year the second tuesday of November. This year, this event will take place  on the 10th of November

Since 2003, the brotherhood of Saint Martin is responsible for organizing this great event.

The fair begins very early at 6am, by a procalamation, and is followed by a distribution of sweets. Around 9am, the procession, composed of various associations in full dress of ceremony, accompanies by bands, crosses the city to reach the Grenette (market square on the harbor) for the opening of the Fair Saint Martin.
