Confidence: high.

Better served than 63 % of the 16,738 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 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the LE RHEU-INRAE weather station, 17.7 km away at 38 m; the village itself is at 105 m. ^[11]

The village sits 67 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. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at LE RHEU-INRAE, 17.7 km away at 38 m, over 20 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 67 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 803 mm of rain a year, spread over 129 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at TINTENIAC, 6.5 km away at 57 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

32 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 254,330 € — 2,020 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Ille-et-Vilaine is 2,168 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. ^[12]

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.
