Condorcet

Condorcet lies among the hills of the Baronnies, beneath the ruins of its old castle. During the Wars of Religion Henri de Caritat, lord of Condorcet, declared himself favourable to the Reformation. In 1573 the Protestant captain Montbrun took the village but failed to capture the castle, whose gunports helped its defenders hold out. A royal edict in 1627 ordered the dismantling of the fortifications of castle and village alike.
