Montreux Jazz Fest on Lake Geneva also beckons Freddie Mercury fans

For the last 50 summers, music lovers have flocked to the banks of Lake Geneva to take in the Montreux Jazz Festival. Drawing more than 250,000 visitors over its annual two-week run, the festival looms large and dominates the Swiss town's landscape and culture. But Montreux has another claim to musical fame: It was where Freddie Mercury, the lead singer and songwriter of Queen, came to find peace.
