Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 39 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the COMMERVEIL_SAPC weather station, 6 km away at 105 m; the village itself is at 175 m. [10]
The village sits 70 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. [10]
An average of 822 mm of rain a year, spread over 127 days — about 6.5 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at MAMERS, 2.8 km away at 125 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
7 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 113,000 € — 1,256 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Sarthe is 1,300 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [11]
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.
