Collection: La Prairie

Clinique La Prairie first opened its doors in 1931. Its aim was to combine pioneering science, rejuvenation and vitality under the scientific leadership of Dr Paul Niehans. Clinique La Prairie was originally housed in a refurbished manor, mentioned as far back as the sixteenth century in the communal archives of Montreux. A haven of peace and tranquillity, the clinic is located on the Swiss Riviera overlooking Lac Leman and the Swiss Alps.

Visiting in the strictest confidence and secrecy, world leaders and artists such as Charles de Gaulle, Emperor Hirohito, members of the British Royal Family, Sir Winston Churchill, Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque all spent time here.
