Confidence: high.
Better served than 41 % of the 16,431 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 39 days a year at or above 30 °C and 44 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the SIMARD weather station, 11 km away at 211 m; the village itself is at 205 m. [11]
An average of 914 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at LESSARD, 4.6 km away at 210 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
11 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 160,000 € — 964 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Saône-et-Loire is 1,210 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
