France and Spain are both members of the EU. They enjoy a good relationship.

Historically, France had good relations with most of the Iberian States until Castille and Aragon united to become Spain. Spain's policies became especially antagonistic towards France in the 1500s and 1600s. In the War of Spanish Succession in the early 1700s, the French success in establishing the Bourbon Dynasty in Spain promoted better French-Spanish relations. These were upset in the early 1800s with the Napoleonic Wars, but reset to neutral after the Congress of Vienna. Spain was neutral and pro-Axis neutral in the World Wars in contrast to France's Ally Status in both. With the Cold War and the formation of the European Union, France and Spain have become relatively strong allies.
