2 A UNIQUE MIX OF CULTURE AND ENTERTAINMENT 1850 m2 of exhibition space: our unique visitor experience is inspired by the grand surroundings of the Manoir de Ban, a listed building where Charlie Chaplin and his family used to live, and by the work of one of the 20th century s most celebrated filmmakers. Admire the magnificent decors and enjoy a whole range of interactive exhibits in the new purposebuilt Studio. Chaplin s World By Grévin offers a unique journey back in time and an invitation to discover the magic of cinema. A MANOR HOUSE STEEPED IN HISTORY THE PARK This magnificent manor house is listed as a Swiss cultural property of national importance. It was designed and constructed in 1840 by the architect Philippe Franel in neoclassical style. Charlie Chaplin loved the landscaped park of the manor house above everything else. He adored spending time there, organizing family games, picnics and parties. Discover Charlie Chaplin s family life at the mansion with our reconstructed scenes in the house s main rooms. For the first time, Charlie Chaplin s furniture and personal possessions are on display to the public. And, as you explore the exhibits tracing the last 25 years of Chaplin s life, you ll immerse yourself in the memories of a man who lived to the full as both a citizen of Switzerland and the world. It s as if the family album has been opened just for you! The park extend over more than 4 hectares (10 acres). Their centuriesold trees are bordered by a forest and crisscrossed with paths that offer superb views of the lake and the Swiss Riviera mountains. It s a great place to chill out. 2

3 THE STUDIO IMMERSE YOURSELF IN HOLLYWOOD Immerse your senses in the starstudded world of Charlie Chaplin and enjoy a unique experience, where laughter meets emotion. As you dive into the heart of Hollywood, you ll discover a host of famous movie sets. In our multimedia show «From laughter to tears», Chaplin s life and works are presented from his early days to later life. There are reconstructions of the set of «Easy Street» and the carnival atmosphere of «The Circus», plus a special display about Chaplin s famous mimes, where you can try your hand at imitating him. In the huge production studio «The Production Set», you ll see a replica of the machine from «Modern Times» and the cabin from «The Gold Rush», as well as a reconstruction of the «Hollywood Walk of Fame». During the visit, you ll get to know Chaplin in all his guises and see him expressing his full range of emotions, from a touching scene at the barbershop, to the romanticism of his restaurant scenes, and the humour of his films in prison and at the bank. 3

4 MEET THE CELEBRITIES More than 30 waxwork figures created by Grévin add some glamour to the displays at the Manoir and the Studio. You ll meet The Tramp, Charlie Chaplin, Oona Chaplin, and politicians such as Gandhi or Churchill, plus stars who crossed paths with Chaplin in Hollywood from Paulette Godard to Buster Keaton as well as those he entertained at the Manoir de Ban, such as Sophia Loren. Plus all those who were inspired by Chaplin s work as director and actor, including Roberto Benigni, Fellini and Michael Jackson. 4

5 CAFERESTAURANT AND TERRACE Chaplin always had a special relationship with food. He never forgot the poverty of his childhood, and loved filming scenes in restaurants or at mealtimes. Chaplin s café and restaurant is set in an old farmhouse, typical of the region s rural architecture, and reflects the atmosphere the actor loved so much. The laidback café with wooden tables, a long counter and swing doors is a great place to relax and Chaplin s influence is never far away. The menu offers up Chaplininspired food, served all day. The caférestaurant has the same opening hours as the rest of the site, and is open to both visitors and nonvisitors. 5

SPECIAL CONDITIONS APPLYING TO GROUP OUTING ORDERS FROM BY GREVIN SA III.I Conditions common to all group outing orders III.1.1 Definition of a group outing order Except where otherwise provided and specifically indicated in the brochures, a group outing order consists of a booking greater than, or equal to, 15 (fifteen) tickets. III.1.2 Booking conditions Each order must specify the number of tickets (adults and children under age 16). Should a group present itself directly at Chaplin s World ticket offices without having booked tickets in advance with BY GREVIN SA Booking Services, access to Chaplin s World may not be guaranteed automatically. III.1.3 Change by a client Requests for booking changes must be made in writing. By express agreement, changes accepted are changes subject to a written agreement by BY GREVIN SA Booking Services. Payment conditions are those applicable to the reservation once updated. On the day a request for a change is made, down payments already made to BY GREVIN SA are deemed to be acquired and may only be subject to a credit under the Cancellation conditions applying to dated tickets and Cancellation conditions applying to undated tickets provisions hereafter. When a booking change duly accepted by BY GREVIN SA Booking Services generates a price increase, the additional amount is integrated directly into the invoice established by BY GREVIN SA Booking Services. III.1.4 Payment methods Final invoices issued by BY GREVIN SA are payable the date they are issued.

III.2.3 Change or cancellation III Change by the client When a change of date duly accepted by BY GREVIN SA Booking Services generates a price adjustment, the amount of the invoice will also be adjusted.

In the event of a request to increase the number of participants or changes to the category of participants (number of children/adults), the amount of the invoice will be adjusted accordingly. Possible free admissions granted to the client will also be adjusted accordingly. III Cancelation policy for dated tickets Complete cancelation of a group reservation BY GREVIN SA Booking Services must be notified in writing of any complete cancellation of a group reservation.

Partial cancelation of a group reservation Should the number of participants in a group decrease below the minimum required for the category of dated tickets ordered, the applicable rate invoiced by BY GREVIN SA will be contingent on the number of actual participants. Thus, if the number of participants decreases to fewer than 15 (fifteen) paying persons, the tickets will be invoiced to the client at the general public rate for dated individual tickets. If notification of the partial cancelation of a group order with one or more guided tours is received less than 7 (seven) days prior to the date of the visit, BY GREVIN SA, will be unable to adjust the number of guides requested in the initial order.

Ordered tickets for access to Chaplin s World leisure facilities are then send by registered mail (mandatory). The client is responsible for paying the cost of sending the tickets by registered mail and the cost is indicated on the invoice.

They may be returned under the following conditions: Undated tickets returned to BY GREVIN SA by registered mail with recorded delivery to BY GREVIN SA Booking Services within 15 (fifteen) days following the end of their validity date will be subject to a credit applied to the total number of tickets not used. The credit issued may only be used to pay the next ticket order (dated or undated), the value of which must exceed the credit issued. Under no circumstances will the credit be refunded. Should the number of tickets returned result in a price change to the initial order owing to a different price for the quantity ordered, this change will be deducted from the credit. IV.
