Plenty to like here, at a price. Health is a strength: after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 37% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. The trade-off is cost of living (C−) — at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 7.3 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Pupils here do less well than most (C+): bac results 1.1 points above the expected rate; brevet results 8.4 points below the expected rate. Overall, that makes an A, good for #2 of 91 in Yvelines. Set against the rest, it does better than 91% of compared French towns.
