The treated of Lunéville was signed with Lunéville the February 9th 1801 (20 pluviôse An IX) between Joseph Bonaparte, representing France, and the count Louis de Cobentzel, representing the Austria.

The treaty made following the victories of Napoleon to Marengo (June 14th 1800) and of Moreau to Hohenlinden the December 3rd of the same year, from where the armistice of Trévise with the Austrians follows the January 15th 1801. It marks the end of the Second coalition. One year later, England must sign the Paix of Amiens (March 1802).

The treaty of Lunéville confirms for France the possession of the Belgium and left bank of the Rhine which had been obtained by the Traité of Campo-Formio. The revolutionary dogma of the natural borders becomes a reality then.
