  thanxx romain 
  very nice
  2 chdefr for the price of 1
  but it appears this de jure 1871chdefr1919 tripoint
  again served as the de facto 1940chdefr1944 tripoint
  as well

you're right ! Don't forget also that this international tripoint began is existence in 1871 because before this date, the "territoire de belfort" was attached to Alsace.

  you may also be said to have visited 
  all together
  chfr2alfcju3hrpotb
  even if that is technically more long winded than
  really necessary

It's hard to decode, but I understood !

  & 
  regarding the present & much shorter chdefr tripoint
  near basel
  which you presented in the previous post
  since you evidently crossed the rhein to take your pix

not necessary, I live on this part of Rhein ;-)
If I understood the question, I never swim or boat in the Rhin river. I just (often) crossed it by car on the two nearliest bridge betwenn Village-Neuf (F) and Weil-am-Rhein (D) and sometime by the swiss bridge (Road n° A3) in Basel.

  i have only a question of whether you tried for 
  & how close you may have come to reaching 
  the actual tripoint 
  in the navigation channel 
  whenever you did swim or boat or drive or walk across
  or however you did do that

  for depending on your answer
  you appear to be registering our closest reported
  chdefr visit to date.

Hoping visit it and other tripoint again. I promise more pix when the futur bridge (very near the tripoint) will be finished.
I hope to find the other former tripoint of Alsace-Lorraine/Elsass-Lothringen, in north, limit with Luxemburg, between the towns of Russange (57, F [ex-D]) ; Rédange (54, F) and Belvaux (L).
