Is Le Bono a good place to live?

Le Bono’s schools beat most: bac results a point above the expected rate; brevet results 1.5 points below the expected rate. Walking, cycling and public transport work well here: 84% of residents live within 800 m of a bakery, and 7% of working residents walk, cycle or take public transport to work. The weak point is cost of living (C−): at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 10 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Health lags (C−).
