It was returned to France by Spain.

Explanation:

The Treaty of San Idelfonso returned the territory known as Spanish Louisiana to France, but it was signed in absolute secrecy. The terms of the treaty were far better for France than they were for Spain, which received only a much smaller territory in Italy. Moreover, Spain was still nominally in control of Louisiana when Napoleon sold it to the United States just a year later.
