Vitality score

Vitality score 32.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 33 % of the 13,052 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.

Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

What property sold for

115 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 316,050 € — 3,000 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Gard is 2,338 € per m², so this commune sits above 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.
