DPE rated F or G, “thermal sieves” (%)
DPE rated A or B, high-performing homes (%)
Calculated on the DPEs issued for flats each year (129 in 2025), on sales or lettings: they do not cover the whole housing stock and reflect homes that change occupant. The years 2021 (second half only) and the current year, being incomplete, are not shown. The DPE calculation method changed (July 2021 reform), which limits comparison with earlier years. Under France’s Climate and Resilience Act, homes rated G have been banned from letting since 1 January 2025, followed by those rated F from 2028 and E from 2034.
🌊 Natural hazards
Hazards listed for the municipality:
Natural disaster declarations per year (since 1982)
3 declarations in total
| Indicator | Value |
|---|---|
| “floods and mudslides” declarations | 3 |
| “ground movements” declarations | 1 |
| Radon potential (class 2 of 3) | Low, with geological factors that may help radon move into buildings |
A declaration recognises a state of natural disaster for a given event; it triggers the “natural disasters” cover of home insurance policies and of the building’s insurance. “Drought” declarations relate to the shrinking and swelling of clay soils, a frequent cause of cracks in buildings. A risk statement (état des risques) must in particular be attached to a sale or lease when the property lies in an area covered by a prevention plan, in seismic zone 2 to 5, or with a class 3 radon potential. This page presents municipal data: it does not replace the risk statement drawn up for the property’s address.
