I went to Montreux last year. It's absolutely beautiful. The duck house was never purchased by Freddie. Freddie owned an apartment at the east end of the lake that was pointed out to me when I went on a Freddie tour. Roger also stayed at Duck House so called because of the wooden ducks that the owner had all over the house. I took the boat tour a couple of times on Lake Geneva and went to see Charlie Chaplin's house in Vevey. It's very interesting. Thanks for the video!

Thank you

I personally met Freddie twice in my life. Cologne and Munich. It was an indescribable feeling.

[@molliebadilla3360]

You are so extremely Lucky to be meet Freddie and be in his presence...all I do is think deeply of him and his friends , his life , Mary ....My mind goes very deep in thought that I feel him somewhere near me and his home surroundings...very strange...very real, but good to get that close....

[@majvit9271]

It was Freddie who called it for duck house , the real namn was the Cygnets.Roger called it Duckingham palace.

The keyboard was moved down stairs as Beloved Freddie was too ill to go upstairs. Did you see a plaque which was put over the new carpet that had been fitted in the studio. Brian told Freedie "no smoking in here" as you can imagine Freddie's reply was" f**k you") Spent many happy times in Montreux. We used to have our CD player at his statue bottle of Moet Champagne. Put our red roses on the microphone and roses on the statue itself. Christmas so beautiful in Montreux. September was very special obviously because it was his birthday was 5th. I was so lucky to have met Freddie's Mum Jer and I got my beautiful picture signed by her. That was a special day. I also havd Freddie's Live Aid Belt. Jim Hutton presented me with it at the Queen Convention. What a fantastic day that was too. Jim was a great guy and you could see why Freddie loved him. No one will ever take Freddies place he was unique brilliant talented young man. God bless you Freddie never be forgotten.

You are so lucky✌🏼 I have been obsessed with Freddie’s Live Aid belt and have tried for years to find one like it. It keeps me busy 😂

[@steffenhaas]

Have you uploaded photos of the belt somewhere???

[@alan56q]

That belt is worth a lot of money

Freddie's home in Montreux was fun and nice where they would practice .,why why did he have to pass away...miss seeing his great performance...and music.

[@molliebadilla3360]

If I would have met Freddie I would have loved him deeply like Mary Austin and all the music...I still can't accept his absence in our world.

Magnum recorded at Montreaux too - in 1986, the album was produced by Roger Taylor.

[@conniesue1111]

Thank you for your video. I always love seeing more about Queen and Freddie ❤️. You made an interesting and good quality video. Thank you for sharing this ❤️

[@LTJones]

Thank you so much!

[@andrewwade7056]

Freddie only rented the Duck House when he visited Montreaux. He did eventually buy a top floor apartment in a building called La Tourelle which Queen Manager Jim Beach found for him.

[@curtisrobinson7962]

The statue is nice, the sculptor did a great job.

[@LTJones]

He did. Thanks for watching

[@Queen71373]

Thank you very much Mr. Jones for this lovely video! I'm in The United States and always wished that I could have gone to Montreux. It's very beautiful, and I would love to see more of where Freddie and Queen went while in Montreux. Have you heard the news about Mary Austin? She announced 2 weeks ago, an Auction and is selling 1,500 items of Freddie's. I don't know if Mary is sick, because she said that all of Freddie's possessions are going be sold. Because she needs to get her life in order. She said she's only keeping personal gifts that Freddie gave her. Very sadly, Garden Lodge will evidently be sold, and will not be a Museum. I do believe that Mary is sick, because Freddie had in his Will, that Mary could live in Garden Lodge for 50 years. She's resided there going on 32 years, since Freddie passed away. Take care and thank you again. From Illinois USA 🇺🇸 May 9, 2023

Can remember buying the Jazz album and the pink gatefold poster of the naked ladies on their bikes that came with it.

[@curious2624]

I don’t think he bought the house. He rented it. He eventually bought a top floor apartment there over looking Lake Geneva.

[@brigittetessier8094]

It's exactly that.

[@douchkanikoliic6182]

Unfortunately, some of these documentaries are so wrong.

[@fullcrumbkitchen-fareshare6533]

Hey, great video. I don't think he bought Duck House though (that was rented through earlier periods), He bought a penthouse apartment further down the road in Territet prior to him passing away.

[@LTJones]

You're correct, i messed up there. Thanks for watching

Very beautiful video. Thank you for sharing. Where is the duck house precisely ?

[@LTJones]

It's walking distance from Burier train station in Montreaux

[@blondiebluetx64]

Enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing. We’re going back to Montreux in October, and we were going to walk from Montreux to the house but taking the train might be better? Do you have address so we can put in our GPS or can you give directions from the train station? Thanks for your assistance. It was nice to see what we’ll be able to see. Montreux is a magical place. Love visiting there.

I didn't know all that was Freddie's house I thought he only owned the apartment behind the statue in yellow the top penthouse, I didn't know he brought all. That and I thought he funded the duck House to have restored? You've told me something I didn't know looks kinda familiar the duck House view ❤️😊

Freddie rented the house.The real name was The Cygnets , it was Freddie who called it Duck house..

[@odilelabalette4415]

He was never the owner of the duck house. And the réal name of the lake is lake leman.

[@matthewrobertson2345]

The yellow jacket is not a replaca it's the real one

Nice video sir but as others have pointed out, Freddie only rented duck house. It’s actually available to rent to the public should anyone fancy treating themselves.
