Andorra–France Border
The Andorra–France border extends for in southern France ( Ariège and Pyrenees-Orientales départements) and northern and north-eastern Andorra. The border is France's third-shortest, after its borders with Monaco and the Netherlands (the latter on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin). Specifications The border's western extremity starts at the western Andorra–Spain–France tripoint, located at the summit of the Pic de Médécourbe (42°36'13"N 1°26'33" E). It then follows a general north-east direction before switching south-eastwards to the eastern Andorra–Spain–France tripoint 42°30'09"N 1°43'33" E).

In 2001, a bilateral treaty between France and Andorra rectified and amended the border slightly. It provided for the exchange of two equal plots of land of 15,925 m² each, to enable Andorra to ...
