Good on most counts; one lags. It is a safe place by the numbers: an average of 3.4 recorded violent incidents and 5.3 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Health is a strength: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 23% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. At €1,646/m², the median price, 70 m² costs 4.7 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté de communes Mellois en Poitou. What holds it back is walkability — 34% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 4% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. The overall grade lands at A+, #8 of 21 in Deux-Sèvres. Set against the rest, it does better than 96% of compared French towns.
