The Land which Changes borders every 6 Months | Pheasant Island | Discover the fascinating history of Pheasant Island, a tiny, uninhabited territory in the Bidasoa River on the border of France and Spain. Under a centuries-old peace treaty (Treaty of the Pyrenees, 1659), this island uniquely switches its national sovereignty every six months, alternating between Spanish rule (Feb 1 – Jul 31) and French rule (Aug 1 – Jan 31). It is the world's oldest surviving example of an alternating condominium.
