Condom
The unfortunately named town of Condom is 20 km to the west of Lectoure, and was a stopping point on one of the pilgrimage paths to Santiago de Compostella.
Just to clear up any misunderstanding, there is no connection whatsoever between the town and the contraceptive device, they just happen to have the same name. For all that, many people like to stand grinning for a photo next to the sign bearing the town name. Those of you who speak French will also find it amusing that the town is on the Baise river!
The town has no exceptional highlight, although the cathedral merits a visit.
And there is a museum of contraceptives...
There is a small medieval old town to visit, with some pleasant streets to explore - Condom is a quiet, relaxing town where you won't feel the pressure to rush around but you will be pleased you stopped for a visit!
Don't forget to try the local brew while in Condom - Armagnac is produced here and there are several places where you can try a sample.
