A hotel in Europe, on the other hand, has two addresses and is in two different countries. The Arbez Hotel is on the border between France and Switzerland, so it has both a French and a Swiss address. The Arbez is on the Rue de la Frontera in La Cure, France, and on the Route de France in Cure, Switzerland. It has a rustic look and is run by a small family. The name L'Arbezie is also used for the Hotel Arbez Franco-Suisse. The Hotel has been around for a long time, since the 1800s. In 1862, the governments of Switzerland and France agreed to change the border in the Valley of the Dappes. On December 8, 1862, the Treaty of Dappes was signed. The treaty said that the change in the border would not affect any building that was already there at the time it was signed. According to the hotel's website, a businessman named Monsieur Ponthus took advantage of this by building a building in an area of their property that was on both sides of the new border. He did this so he could do business across the new border. They also say that the building was finished before the treaty became law in February 1863. When the Swiss government signed the treaty, the three-story building was already done, so it was not affected by the new border. Mr. Ponthus opened a bar on the French side and a store on the Swiss side. The shop was there until 1921, when Mr. Ponthus's son, Jules-Jean Arbeze, turned it into what is now the Franco-Suisse Hotel. During World War II, the second floor of the hotel was a safe place for people who were trying to get away from German soldiers. The stairs led to the Swiss side of the border. According to the website, all of the roomsin hotel have "high-quality bedding with storage, a private bathroom, and free WiFi." A room for two people costs 89 euros (Rs 7,876), and a room for a family of four costs 129 euros (Rs 11,416). Almost every room in the building is split by the line between the two countries.

One of the first and most obvious signs of this border is a stone marker from 1863. On one side is the eagle of the Second French Empire. At the time, Napoleon III was in charge of France. On the other side is just the word "Vaud." https://twitter.com/NzeoraHQ/status/1616696463769366529 Conde Nast Traveller says that the French-Swiss border runs through the middle of the dining room, dividing it into two parts. The French and Swiss flags are displayed at opposite ends of the room. In some rooms, guests can sleep with their heads in France and their feet in Switzerland. The bed in the honeymoon suite is also neatly split in half. The bathroom in one room is in the French part of the hotel, but the rest of the room is all Swiss.
