Vitality score

Vitality score 42.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 29 % of the 6,639 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.

In the commune Bakery, Primary school, Pharmacy GP — 0.5 km NFood shop — 3.6 km NW Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Camors): 0.1 km to the north-east (straight line). [10]

Food shop (Baud): 3.6 km to the north-west (straight line). [11]

GP (Camors): 0.5 km to the north (straight line). [10]

Primary school (Camors): 0.1 km to the south-east (straight line). [10]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 45 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the BAUD weather station, 2.9 km away at 51 m; the village itself is at 113 m. [12]

The village sits 62 m above 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. [12]

An average of 1,089 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 8.1 mm on a day it rains. [12]

Rainfall measured at CAMORS, 2.5 km away at 112 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

What property sold for

232 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 183,900 € — 1,375 € per m² of built surface. [13]

12 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 92,500 € — 560 € per m². [13]

The median across Morbihan is 2,080 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [13]

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.
