The treaty still enforced after six centuries

In a remote part of the Pyrenean foothills, where Spain borders France, a ceremony that seems as old as the hills, has taken place for centuries.

Believed to have been first ratified in around 1375, it claims to be one of the oldest international treaties still enforced.

It’s a story of peace born out of conflict, of tradition born from enduring relationships - celebrated annually and consistently for over 640 years.
