Following numerous changes to the borders, several buildings have the particularity of having one foot in Switzerland and the other in France. This is particularly the case of the Hotel Franco-Suisse located astride the border.

The Franco-Swiss hotel or Arbez hotel, nicknamed Arbézie, is a hotel-restaurant in the village of La Cure cut by the border between France and Switzerland. It is shared between the commune of Rousses in the department of Jura, in France, and the commune of Saint-Cergue in the canton of Vaud, in Switzerland. It has also been a micronation since 1958.
