Vitality score
Vitality score 47.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 65 % of the 10,087 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 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 42 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the SOUDAN weather station, 18.2 km away at 77 m; the village itself is at 40 m. [10]
An average of 820 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at JOUE-SUR-ERDRE, 11.9 km away at 42 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
139 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 125,000 € — 1,100 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Loire-Atlantique is 2,768 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
