Better served than 10 % of the 11,239 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.

Climate

An average of 22 days a year at or above 30 °C and 33 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the SAINT-MAIXENT-L-ECOLE_SAPC weather station, 2.2 km away at 83 m; the village itself is at 146 m. ^[10]

The village sits 63 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[10]

An average of 949 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 7.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at SAINT-MAIXENT-L-ECOLE_SAPC, 2.2 km away at 83 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

100 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 154,300 € — 1,426 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

10 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 56,600 € — 1,087 € per m². ^[11]

The median across Deux-Sèvres is 1,143 € per m², so this commune sits above 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.
