Villages of France

34,858 communes scored across 100 départements. Explore the map · Statistics · How the score works

By name Accents, case and st/saint are ignored; word order does not matter.

Every requirement must be met (AND). ? means the data is unknown rather than absent. State lives in the URL — copy it to share.

Presets

Presets combine — pick several. Where they overlap, the stricter value wins.

Daily life — A bakery, a grocery, a café or bar, and a weekly market — the things you would use without driving.
Family — A primary school, a bakery and a GP in the commune itself.
Gourmand — A weekly market, a cheesemonger, and at least two restaurants.
Still growing — Population stable or rising over 30 years, with a bakery and a grocery.
Lived in, not let out — Fewer than 20 % second homes, with a bakery and a primary school — a working village rather than a resort.

From the nearest weather station, 1995–2024. 2.1 % of communes have no station close enough; they are shown under “near misses” rather than silently dropped.

A muggy day is a summer day whose dew point reaches 18 °C. 11.8 % of communes have no humidity station near enough — far more than lack a thermometer — so this filter puts many more communes under “near misses”.
