Vitality score

Vitality score 33.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 32 % of the 12,266 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.

28 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 102,875 € — 1,557 € per m². ^[12]
