Vitality score
Vitality score 93.2/100 — Well served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 79 % of the 68 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 37 days a year at or above 30 °C and 2 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [15]
Measured at the TOULON weather station, 2.7 km away at 3 m; the village itself is at 1 m. [15]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 23 days a summer. [15]
Humidity measured at TOULON, 2.7 km away at 3 m, over 30 summers. [15]
An average of 620 mm of rain a year, spread over 56 days — about 11.1 mm on a day it rains. [15]
Rainfall measured at TOULON, 2.7 km away at 3 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [15]
What property sold for
2,349 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 395,000 € — 4,370 € per m² of built surface. [16]
14,279 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 143,000 € — 2,552 € per m². [16]
The median across Var is 3,286 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [16]
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.
