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.
