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 Irùn

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