A Franco-Swiss border

The Franco-Swiss border can be reached via the Col Bostan pass. For centuries, this border was the crossing point for many people: migrating populations, war refugees, etc. Smugglers used the pass to illegally transport goods between the two countries (alcohol, cigarettes, sugar, butter, shoes, ammunition). Just imagine the men who used this route in all weathers and seasons, usually carrying dozens of kilos on their backs at night!
