Vitality score

Vitality score 30.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 51 % of the 16,835 communes of a similar size.

Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.

Climate

An average of 5 days a year at or above 30 °C and 46 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the DUAULT weather station, 9.2 km away at 155 m; the village itself is at 269 m. ^[12]

The village sits 114 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at ROSTRENEN, 9.5 km away at 236 m, over 20 summers. ^[12]

An average of 1,098 mm of rain a year, spread over 156 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at LANRIVAIN, 8.7 km away at 255 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

78 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 80,000 € — 864 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Côtes-d'Armor is 1,539 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[13]

These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.
