Can't believe this French village has this name...

    Good grief. I thought this was going to be the hilariously-named Condom or something.

    I'd never heard of this place. That's an appalling name.

    Here's some more information on the place.

    This bit in particular is ridiculous:

    Une conseillère municipale de Courtemaux, Marie-Elisabeth Secrétand, déclare à la presse qu’« il faudrait pour changer de nom une décision du conseil municipal, mais cela m'étonnerait bien. Pourquoi changer un nom qui remonte au Moyen-Âge, ou à plus loin encore ? Il faut respecter ces vieux noms23 »​

    Pourquoi? Why do you bloody think? Honestly, this Mme Secrétand really is an idiot. Or an appalling unreconstructed anti-Semite. I'm going for the latter. "Il faut respecter ces vieux noms"? No it doesn't.
