Did you know that there is a hotel where guests can sleep with their head laying in one country and their feet in another? No, we're not talking about riddles, but about a unique hotel that half of its building is in France and the other half in Switzerland.

L’Arbézie Franco – Suisse, also known as Hôtel Arbez, is a bed and breakfast, located right on the France-Swiss border in the village of La Cure, 45 minutes north of Geneva. The border even crosses some of the rooms, which means that if you sleep in one of them, you'll technically be sleeping in two countries at once. Also, staying in these rooms offers a view of the two border stations just a few meters away, the Swiss one on the right and the French a little further on the left.

The hotel has two addresses, two postal codes and two phone numbers. Also, the restaurant operating within the hotel is also attuned to this particularity, as it serves traditional food from both countries.

This small European hotel was built shortly before the determination of the new borders between France and Switzerland in 1862. It originally operated as a grocery store and during World War II, due to its neutral status, it became a refuge for refugees and French Resistance fighters. Then in 1921, Jules-Jean Arbeze bought the place and turned it into his hotel and since then it has attracted the attention of the world for the unique experience it offers. If you want to visit this special hotel, a room is around £84 a night.
