Communes au Noms Burlesques – French towns with dirty names
Remember that CouchSurfing group that was hitchhiking to all the French towns with dirty names in the southwest?

I feel like an honorary citizen of Bouzillé
Well it turns out there is a club of French towns with naughty names. And they have an annual parade.
Well, this means I get to expand my list of favorite town names. Maybe we should do a wine tasting of wines that come from burlesque villages.
;D
Most of the following aren’t so much naughty as they are slightly pejorative or just silly-sounding. And they’re all in the Languedoc Roussillon:
- Bourg-Madame (Get the Mrs. drunk)
- Saint-Arnac (Saint Ripoff)
- Saint Jean de Cuculles (just naughty-sounding)
- Conas (since we pronounce the S’s at the end of words, bitch)
- Fourtou (an out of the way place where you put all your crap)
- Les Cassés (the broken ones)
Getting into the neighboring region of Midi-Pyrenées, we get a little naughtier:
- Seix
- Salau
- Arnac-sur-Dourdou
- Cornus
- Oô
- Condom
- Montcuq
- Belbèse

Near Paris, you can go to Bourg-la-Reine or to Jouy-en-Josas :/

Hahahaha. “Jouy en josas” is hilarious.
