« It is land as big as a tiny islet... A land where I learned what true friendship means » Paul-Emile Victor
Because Napoleon III moved
the boundary, 2 nations sleep
in the same bed and eat
at the same table! Taking advantage of this situation,
a certain clever Ponthus built a house on this no man’s land that would later become the Hôtel Franco-Suisse run by Jules Joseph Arbez and a nucleus of resistance with his son Max, a great friend of Paul-Emile Victor.
And so “L’Arbézie” came to be (name coined by Edgar Faure to designate the Arbez family’s extraterritorial estate)
by an accident of history. Charles de Gaulle became the 1st citizen of honour of this tiny principality.
