Condé-sur-Noireau (French pronunciation: [kɔ̃de syʁ nwaʁo] (listen)) is a former commune in the Calvados department in the Normandy region in northwestern France. On 1 January 2016, it was merged into the new commune of Condé-en-Normandie.[2] It is situated on the River. In the fifteenth century, the town was occupied by the English, and belonged to Sir John Fastolf of Caister Castle in Norfolk (1380-1459). It was from here that the Spanish mercenary François de Surienne launched an attack on Fougères in Brittany, which triggered the invasion of by Charles VII of France, and the end of the Hundred Years' War.
