🇫🇷 Condom, also known as Condom-en-Armagnac, is a commune in south-western France in the department of Gers, of which it is a subprefecture.
Geography: Location The town of Condom is located in the northern part of the department of Gers, halfway between Mont-de-Marsan (to the west) and Montauban (to the east), and north of Auch.
Roads and transports 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 north-west Spain. Pilgrims arrive at Condom after Miradoux and continue on to Larressingle.
Toponymy There is no relationship between the English word condom and this town. The toponym Condom comes from the Gaulish words condate and magos combined into Condatomagos, which means "market or field, 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. It is where the river Gèle flows into the river Baïse.
Although 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 contraceptives, which closed in 2005.
