Way of St. James
Condom is a town on the Via Podiensis, one of the three major French arms of the pilgrimage route, the Way of St. James. This particular route begins in Le Puy and ends in Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain. Pilgrims arrive at Condom after Miradoux and continue on to Larressingle.
Name
There is no relationship between the English word condom and this town. The toponym Condom comes from the Gaulish words condate-ó-magos which means "market of the confluence". Condatómagos evolved into Condatóm and then into Conddóm. Condom was first recorded in Latin in the 10th century as Condomus or Condomium.[1]
Though the French word for a condom is préservatif, in
1995 the town's mayor, taking advantage of the incidental relationship
between the town's name and the English word, opened a museum of famous
population-control devices, which closed in 2005.[2]
Sights
Condom is the site of two castles, the Château de Mothes and the Château de Pouypardin, both started in the 13th century. In total, 19 sites in Condom are listed as monuments historiques by the French Ministry of Culture, including the cathedral, churches and houses.
Condom is known for the production of Armagnac,
an international music festival of "bandas", an international chess
tournament and an international chess marathon. It is also known for its
tourism with farm campings and boating on waterways. It is also home to
a museum about Armagnac.[3][4]
