Inside Arbez Franco-Suisse, there are 2 most special rooms. When the guests slept on the beds in this place, the first part belonged to the French territory but the legs were on Swiss soil.

The history of this world's most distinguished hotel dates back to 1862, the French and Swiss governments decided to change the border in the Dappes valley. With a visionary, businessman Monsieur Ponthus then decided to build a building on the family's land for the purpose of cross-border business.

In February 1863, when the treaty officially came into effect, the 3-storey building also completed, meaning that it did not suffer any influence from changing the new border. Mr. Ponthus then opened a bar in France and a souvenir shop in Switzerland right in the building. By 1921, businessman Jules - Jean Arbeze bought this building, turned this place into a unique multinational hotel and officially renamed it Arbez Franco-Suisse.

Jean Arbeze bought this building, making it a unique multinational hotel.

It was also because of this special position of Arbez Franco-Suisse that many anecdotes occurred here, especially during World War II. At that time, France was occupied by Germany but Switzerland was neutral. Germany can "unleash itself" in French territory but is not allowed to do the same on the land belonging to Switzerland. So when it came to Arbez Franco-Suisse, the Germans could only access rooms in France. Refugees taking advantage of this loophole hid on the second floor of the hotel. The staircase was also divided into two lines by the border with the first part belonging to Switzerland, so even if you wanted to check up, the Germans couldn't.

Stairs are also divided into two lines by the border.

In 1962, the Arbez Franco-Suisse hotel was chosen as the location for the signing of the Evian peace agreement to return independence to Algeria.
