Vitality score

Vitality score 40.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 82 % of the 17,489 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

An average of 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 58 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the FLINS-SUR-SEINE weather station, 12.1 km away at 32 m; the village itself is at 155 m. ^[12]

The village sits 123 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]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at MAGNANVILLE, 12.5 km away at 123 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

An average of 721 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at LAINVILLE, 3.2 km away at 150 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

30 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 317,575 € — 1,667 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Yvelines is 3,657 € 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.
