Hi,
Coming soon to Geneva, I've chosen a hotel in Annemasse for my first days after arrival. However, I knew it is located on the French side of the border. I wonder if foreigners might face any difficulties while crossing the border daily, or it is ok since one has a Schengen Visa?

I also wonder about the liveliness of the area where the hotel is located; any shops or restaurants open at night?
The specific address is:
Ibis Annemasse
38 Route de Gen茅ve
74100 - AMBILLY
FRANCE

Thanks

A Schengen visa should be ok to visit both France and Switzerland.

Hope this helps,
Twan.
