The town of Condom is situated to the west of Lectoure and south of Nérac in the Gers (Gascony) department of south-west France. The town was once an important stopping point on one of the pilgrimage paths to Santiago de Compostella, around which the town developed, with wealth in more recent centuries based around the production and export of armagnac (a popular form of brandy) - initially the trade was based around the port in Condom from where the armagnac was sent to Bordeaux.
