Chalet Covar, Les Avants, in the Vaud canton of Switzerland was the European home of Noël Coward from 1958 until his death in 1973.

Achieving great success in the decades between the First and the Second World Wars, in 1926 he bought a country house in Kent, Goldenhurst Farm, in Aldington, making it his home for most of the next thirty years.

At the same time, the post-war tax regime made the expense of running a large country house increasingly burdensome and in 1956 Coward sold the farm[2] and his London home.

[6] Coward entertained many friends at the chalet; guests included Marlene Dietrich,[7] Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor,[8] Charlie Chaplin, Lady Diana Cooper, Ingrid Bergman, Roger Moore and David Niven.

A frequent visitor was Dame Joan Sutherland, who became a neighbour after Coward found her a home, the next house up the road, Chalet Monet.
