Vitality score
Vitality score 46.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 40 % of the 6,224 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.

Climate
No climate figures: the nearest weather station is more than 20 km away, too far to describe this commune.
What property sold for
244 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 153,250 € — 1,113 € per m² of built surface. [10]
The median across Ille-et-Vilaine is 2,168 € 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.
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]
