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?

Bouzillé at towns with dirty names parade

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
  • Condom
  • Montcuq
  • Belbèse
