Vitality score
Vitality score 50.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 61 % of the 6,986 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
Where this sits nationally
An average of 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 27 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LA POMMERAYE weather station, 7.6 km away at 91 m; the village itself is at 18 m. [11]
The village sits 73 m below 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]
An average of 741 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at CHAMPTOCE, 6 km away at 61 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
104 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 170,000 € — 1,818 € per m² of built surface. [12]
6 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 192,500 € — 1,363 € per m². [12]
The median across Maine-et-Loire is 1,797 € 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.
