Puidoux is a municipality in Switzerland in the canton of Vaud, located in the district of Lavaux. There are several small towns, including Puidoux Gare and Puidoux Village.
Puidoux is a quiet area, yet a convenient base for exploring much of the Lac Leman region. Puidoux Village is a small crossroads yet boasts an auberge (inn) and two restaurants. Local food can be purchased at the self-serve butcher and greengrocer shops. Just 5 minutes down the road is the town of Chexbres, home of several wine caveaux. There is also an 18-hole golf course, horsebackriding, and fishing in Lac de Bret.
The "greater Puidoux area" is the home of the Bout d'Brousse, an annual music festival with onsite food, camping and unique souvenir vending. the music selection is surprisingly varied: the 2006 festival included celtic rock, french chansons, and reggae.
