It's an enclave, do you not have those where you come from? If you're shocked at this, you should see the India/Pakistan border

France and Spain can get pretty autistic with their borders.

>Pheasant Island is not only the oldest surviving condominium, it is also the only one where sovereignty isn’t shared simultaneously, but alternately. For six months a year, Pheasant Island is French. For the other six, it is Spanish. As the New York Times puts it, “it’s like the ball in an extremely slow game of ping-pong between France and Spain.”

>Prior to the war and the signing of the treaty, Pheasant Island’s status was undefined. As a neutral venue, it was frequently used as a meeting place between French and Spanish monarchs and as a place where prisoner exchanges took place. As a result, many important historical events took place on the island. It was here, on Pheasant Island, that French king Louis XIII met his Spanish bride, Ana of Austria, while at the same time her brother, Philip IV, laid his eyes on his French bride and Louis XIII’s sister, Elisabeth of France. Later, Louis XIII’s son, Louis XIV met his future wife Maria Theresa of Spain. Over the years, other bridal exchanges took place —Marie Louise d'Orléans was handed over to Charles II of Spain, and Mariana Victoria of Spain to the French king, Louis XV, although the marriage never went ahead.

>Today, Pheasant Island is off-limit to visitors, although one can get pretty close to the island. It lies less than 100 feet from the Spanish bank of river Bidasoa, in the town of Irun, and about 150 feet from the French side in the commune of Hendaye.
