Sleep in Two Countries at the Same Time

Hotel Arbez Franco-Switch is located right on the international border between two countries. Half of the hotel is in France, and the other half is in Switzerland.

The beds in that hotel are kept so that you can sleep in two countries at the same time.

A small family runs the hotel. The history of the hotel dates back to 1862. The hotel is constructed under a contract. According to the treaty, France and Switzerland agreed to exchange a small area for French control on a nearby road. Rules were also enforced to keep any installations intact on the France-Swiss border. But the hotel opens up new horizons for cross-border trade.

Hotel Arbez is located in the small village of La Coeur on the border between France and Switzerland.

The hotel was originally built in 1862 and started out as a grocery shop.

In 1921, it was bought on the spot by Jules-Jean Arbeze, who turned it into a hotel. The hotel played a special role during World War II. During the German occupation of France, many Frenchmen took refuge in the Swiss part of the hotel.

To the right of the hotel is Switzerland, and to the left is France. If you want to stay, a room is around £84 for the night.

The France and Switzerland border runs through the bedroom, dining room, and bathroom of the hotel.

However, the bar is entirely located in France. The honeymoon suite is bisected by the border, with half in France and half in Switzerland. The room number is 9.
