<div id="ygrps-yiv-158802743"><blockquote><span title="ireply">&gt;It happens quite a lot in Europe where it goes through buildings.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>The CERN high-energy physics laboratory (Meyrin site) straddles the CH-FR <br/>
border near Geneva. About half the site is in France, although all the <br/>
entrances are in Switzerland.<br/>
<br/>
I seem to remember hearing that one of the cafeterias straddles the border, <br/>
and has to charge French taxes on one side, and Swiss taxes on another. <br/>
Unfortunately, whilst I know that detailed maps showing the border exist, I <br/>
haven&#39;t been able to find a sufficiently accurate one on the web. <br/>
Regrettably, I wasn&#39;t so interested in such things when I last visited :-(<br/>
<br/>
I found this photograph of the main entrance, with the CH-FR border post in <br/>
the distance...<br/>
