Our walk took us past the vieux village and chateau above Condorcet, yesterday. The local department is continuing to take care of its heritage – and its mission to inform and enlighten visitors. So it was good to see a couple of panneaux giving the history of the village and the chateau.
I hadn’t known that it was originally set up as an offshoot of the Monastery of Cluny in Burgundy. But I did know its associations with the Marquis de Condorcet, who though an aristocrat was pro-equality – including the emancipation of slaves and of women.
And there’s a view of Mont Ventoux from the site as well.
