Vitality score
Vitality score 52.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 73 % of the 8,044 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 24 days a year at or above 30 °C and 33 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the SAUMUR weather station, 8.3 km away at 69 m; the village itself is at 30 m. [9]
An average of 642 mm of rain a year, spread over 110 days — about 5.8 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at LONGUE, 7.3 km away at 35 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
161 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 170,000 € — 1,280 € per m² of built surface. [10]
9 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 95,413 € — 1,460 € per m². [10]
The median across Maine-et-Loire is 1,797 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [10]
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.
