Confidence: high.
Better served than 33 % of the 17,779 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 46 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the LES LEVES THOUM weather station, 7 km away at 80 m; the village itself is at 27 m. [9]
The village sits 53 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]
An average of 819 mm of rain a year, spread over 118 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at LES LEVES THOUM, 7 km away at 80 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
26 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 182,500 € — 1,100 € per m² of built surface. [10]
The median across Gironde is 2,989 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [10]
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.
