 </span></blockquote>Yes, it&#39;s a separate section of the terminal and handles domestic flights <br/>
from France. Passengers can take bus connections to French territory <br/>
without entering Switzerland.<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;To go in, does one need a boarding pass for a flight from there, or can <br/>
&gt;anyone on a layover walk on through?<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Never tried I&#39;m afraid, as I&#39;ve always used the Swiss section. I&#39;d imagine <br/>
you need a boarding card and have to go through passport control.<br/>
<br/>
There is a similar arrangement at Mulhouse airport which serves both France <br/>
(Mulhouse) and Switzerland (Basel) and has a transit corridor to <br/>
Switzerland. It also serves Germany (Freiburg), but Schengen makes a <br/>
fenced-off corridor unnecessary. However, Switzerland is also supposed to <br/>
be joining Schengen, so their corridor will probably not be needed in the <br/>
future.<br/>
