St. Martin is the smallest ground in the world that is shared by two states. And, for over 350 years. A very special story.

When Christopher Columbus landed on St. Martin November 11, 1493, no one in the following days no one imagined that this little island would fall into oblivion for almost two centuries. Until in 1631, the Dutch are interested. Driven out of the island by the Spaniards, they returned in 1648 and fall face to face with the French. From this chance meeting, was signed the Treaty of Concordia, stipulating the division of the island and establishing the border with northern French, Dutch to the south. No drop of blood will have been paid.
