A solid town with one catch. Its strongest is safety (A+): an average of 2.8 recorded violent incidents and 6.4 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. Schools are another plus (A+): brevet results 5 points above the expected rate. Buying 70 m² at the median €2,641/m² takes 6.6 years of the median income per consumption unit in the Communauté d'agglomération Golfe du Morbihan - Vannes Agglomération. It is hard to get around without a car: nearly two in five residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 7% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. Put together, the subjects come to an A+ overall, ranking #1 of 54 in Morbihan. Set against the rest, it does better than almost every compared French town.

Source: SSMSI (Interior Ministry), recorded crime by commune, 2023–2025 · Licence Ouverte · For other physical violence, vehicle theft and theft from vehicles, this figure isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in at least one of the last three years); the index uses the département’s average instead, 18.0% of the index here. As that share tops 10%, this Safety Grade carries more doubt than most. The count covers the offense categories the Safety Grade uses.
