Vitality score
Vitality score 89.3/100 — Well served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 91 % of the 383 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 6 days a year at or above 30 °C and 31 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the VANNES PARGO weather station, 1.5 km away at 12 m; the village itself is at 24 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at VANNES-SENE, 6.9 km away at 3 m, over 26 summers. [9]
An average of 934 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at VANNES PARGO, 1.5 km away at 12 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
1,595 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 440,000 € — 3,966 € per m² of built surface. [10]
3,854 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 175,000 € — 3,752 € per m². [10]
The median across Morbihan is 2,080 € per m², so this commune sits above 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.

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Vannes's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
