In case we needed some more potty humour in here, The Venere blog has come up with five of the funniest names for towns in France...drumroll please...

1. Condom
According to our sources not an actual member of the association, but too good not to mention. This lovely town of 7,000 inhabitants is situated in the South of France in the region of Midi-Pyrenees, about 120 km north-west of Toulouse. Coincidentally, the town of Condom is on the river Baïse which in French without the dots on the i is the not-so-sophisticated word for the sex act.

2. Monteton
Monteton literally means “My Tit” in French. This tiny little town only has around 230 inhabitants and is situated in the Aquitaine region in the South of France.

3. Corps-Nuds
The village of Corps-Nuds, literally “Naked Bodies“, is situated in the Brittany region of France, 18 km south of Rennes.

4. Saint-Arnac
The French word for Swindle is spelled arnaque but is pronounced the same way as the arnac spelling. This town is literally called “Holy Swindle“. The town of Saint-Arnac is located in the very south of France, in the Languedoc-Roussillon region at 40 km west from Perpignan.

5. Vatan
Don’t let the unwelcoming name of Vatan stop you from visiting it. Vatan means “Go away” in French and is located at about 50 km west of Bourges in Central France in the Loire Valley.

Editor's note: Vatan was also the host town for the sixth annual meeting of French mayors of towns with funny names. Next year’s meeting will be held in the town of Bouzillé (”broken” or “ruined”), 55 km east of Nantes.

Who knew there was a meeting for such a thing...?!

Well what about the Oshkosh, Wisconsin, home of the famous Oshkosh B'Gosh children's clothing.
