Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
4,374 people live in this town in Dordogne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine. People aged 65 and over make up 31% of residents.
The weak point is health — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 9% above expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. A 70 m² home at the median €1,705/m² costs 4.9 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the Communauté d'agglomération Bergeracoise. It is a safe place by the numbers (A+): an average of 3.5 recorded violent incidents and 7.4 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Overall, that makes a C+, good for #23 of 27 in Dordogne. That leaves it better than 37% of compared French towns. Few people walk, cycle or take the bus to work (D): 43% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 3% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For sexual violence, vehicle theft and theft from vehicles, the count isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in a year of the last three), so the index uses the département’s average, 8.7% of the index here. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses.
