Vitality score
Vitality score 33.1/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 38 % of the 13,770 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
Where this sits nationally
An average of 17 days a year at or above 30 °C and 51 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MONTEAUX weather station, 16.9 km away at 100 m; the village itself is at 67 m. [10]
An average of 711 mm of rain a year, spread over 115 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at FAVEROLLES, 2.5 km away at 77 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
91 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 140,000 € — 1,204 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Loir-et-Cher is 1,214 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [11]
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.
