Until recently, the scarcity of information led to the belief that the tourist industry was incompatible with the war. Yet the hotel business held up well during the Second World War (Tissot, Crivelli, Abramovici, Narindal, Schneider, etc.). While hotel sources are traditionally difficult to access, because they are essentially private, the files of this period kept in the departmental archives give us an insight into the internal workings of these establishments. The requisition files make it possible to determine the extent of the work carried out throughout the war, which help us to understand the resumption of activity after the war.
