Print this page

Bordercrossings have always been a popular subject for postcards. So it's not surprising that there are many old postcards of Pyrenean bordercrossings. On this page a few examples. Not to be exhaustive, just for fun.

These peculiar posts with the arms of France and Spain aere at the bridge between Henday and IrĂ¹n

They are mentioned in the Bayonne treaty of 1856 and as such could be considered as the first bordermarkers of the esfr-delimitation.
