Better served than 72 % of the 18,039 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

Measured at the LAROQUE-TIMBAUT weather station, 15.3 km away at 186 m; the village itself is at 61 m. ^[11]

The village sits 125 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °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 7 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at AGEN-LA GARENNE, 15.8 km away at 58 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

An average of 760 mm of rain a year, spread over 111 days — about 6.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at PUYMIROL, 6.6 km away at 158 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 142,954 € — 1,484 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Lot-et-Garonne is 1,182 € per m², so this commune sits above 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.
