Condorcet (French pronunciation: [kɔ̃dɔʁsɛ]; Occitan: Condorcet) is a commune in the Drôme department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in southeastern France.

Geography

Condorcet is roughly 10 km (6.2 mi) north-east of the town of Nyons.

History

The history of Condorcet begins in late antiquity. An old local tradition holds that the ancient, ruined part of the village was once occupied by a forest sacred to druids. The monks of Cluny Abbey founded a priory in Condorcet in the 10th century (first attesting the name as Condacense in pago Diens in 986 AD). The counts of Die (Drôme) were the lords of Condorcet from the earliest days of feudalism.
