The
Old La Cure Marker no 221
The
old marker 221 was in the beginning of the 1980s hit by a lorry and later
replaced with a street plate marker. Thereafter it was put behind
the building (near 220A) as some kind of an indirect 221 marker, or more likely,
simply in order to keep an old monument. On its right side it reads
"221".
The
front side bears a coat-of-arm and reads "VAUD".
On
the left side it reads "1863", the year of border treaty
ratification and probably also the boundary demarcation. We can clearly
see the same turning point as on the new street marker.

The
main building of Hotel Arbez Franco-Suisse is divided with about 1/3 on
the Swiss side and 2/3 on the French side.
The
marker 222A (1921) is located on the cellar wall. Distance to marker 222B
is 13 metres.
The
marker is located exactly between the windows.

La
Cure Marker no 222 B
The
building's length direction is following the border exactly, so also on
this side the border is located between the 2nd floor windows.
Therefore the entire pub (brasserie) is located in France.
Marker
222B (2001) is located in the corner.
Close-up
of marker 222B. This marker type is unique in La Cure, but is
probably a replacement of an old 1921 type marker.. It is placed about 15
cm from the corner. Distance to marker 222C is 9 metres.
La
Cure Marker no 222 C
Marker
222C (1921) is placed about 2 metres above the ground due to the door.
Distance
to the corner of the building is about 140 cm.
The
marker is located a few cm inside the hole.

La
Cure Marker no 223
Marker
223 (1863) is the most well-known La Cure marker. This is the third
turning point in La Cure. The stone is of the same type as the old marker
221, but painted in red colour. Photographed towards west and
France.
The
French marker side has the old French eagle from the Imperial Coat of arms of France (18521870).
Distance to marker 223A is 15.6 metres.

The building south of
marker 223 is slightly divided by the boundary. This building also
houses hotel rooms of the Hotel Arbez, but here all rooms are
located on the Swiss side.

La
Cure Marker no 223 A
Marker
223A was not visited, but according to the border map it is located on the
northern side of the hotel annex. Photo: Google Earth.
Between
marker 223A and marker 224 the boundary runs along a stone wall. Distance
to marker 224 is 412 metres.
La
Cure Marker no 224
Marker
224 (1863) is of the same type as the old 221 marker and the 223 marker.
It is also the forth and the last turning point in La Cure. From marker
224 the boundary again seems to divide a building slightly. Distance
to marker 225 is about 412 metres.
