Vitality score

Vitality score 38.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 49 % of the 12,407 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.

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

In the commune Primary school Food shop — 0.8 km NGP — 4.0 km NPharmacy — 4.0 km NWBakery — 4.4 km NE Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Villandry): 4.4 km to the north-east (straight line). ^[8]

Food shop (Vallères): 0.8 km to the north (straight line). ^[9]

GP (Cinq-Mars-la-Pile): 4 km to the north (straight line). ^[10]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 20.6

Days at or below 0 °C 54.5

Muggy days a summer 3.3

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 55 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the LIGNIERES-DE-T. weather station, 5.7 km away at 32 m; the village itself is at 81 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at CHEILLE, 7.7 km away at 60 m, over 27 summers. ^[11]

An average of 704 mm of rain a year, spread over 112 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at LIGNIERES-DE-T., 5.7 km away at 32 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

71 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 201,100 € — 1,996 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Indre-et-Loire is 1,846 € 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.

…and in much the same climate

The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Vallères's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
