The Treaty of Luneville.

Throughout the Napoleonic period Austria remained a bitter enemy of France. The treaties the Austrian government was forced to sign were only lulls in the contest, observed only until it was convenient for them to be broken. None the less, the continent greeted each fresh treaty as the final arrival of peace. The outpouring of jettons and commemorative medals after the signing of the Treaty of Luneville (9 February 1801) reflected, perhaps, the hope of Europe that the fight was over rather than the belief that this was in fact the end of the misery.
