Llívia

Llívia is a town of the Cerdanya, Girona province, Catalonia that forms a Spanish exclave surrounded by French territory (Pyrénées-Orientales département).

The Treaty of the Pyrenees (1659) ceded the comarques of Roussillon, Conflent, Capcir, Vallespir, and Alta Cerdanya to the French crown. Llivia did not become part of the French kingdom as it was considered a town, rather than a village, and the treaty only stated that villages north of the Pyrenees should become French.
