Annexation to the department of Haute-Garonne

Historical milestone · Bossòst, Val d'Aran, Lleida

Image of Bossòst, not of the place itself.

During the Napoleonic occupation the valley was incorporated into the French department of Haute-Garonne and administered from France. The defeat of Napoleon returned it to Spain in 1814, in a context that already announced the end of Aranese fiscal autonomy.
