Empires and landmarks

The tracing of the borders, following the Paris Treaty of 1815 was symbolised by landmarks linked together with a low dry wall. However, the border has not always been watertight, and it symbolises what has come to be a lifestyle. More than a border, the Franco-Swiss frontier, which runs along the Risoux ridge line, is a place of passage and of exchanges, both lawful and unlawful, over time.
