Geography
[edit]The commune covers 19.59 square kilometres (7.56 sq mi), resulting in a population density of approximately 45 inhabitants per square kilometre as of 2020 (compared to 41.2 in 2012–13).[3] In 2010, the commune was classified as having a typical oceanic climate, based on a study by the CNRS using data from the period 1971–2000.[4] In 2020, Météo-France published a typology of metropolitan France's climates in which the commune is described as having an oceanic climate, situated within the climatic region of eastern and southern Brittany, Pays Nantais, and Vendée, characterized by low summer rainfall and good levels of sunshine.[5] That same year, the Brittany Environmental Observatory released a climate zoning map of the Brittany region based on 2009 data from Météo-France. According to this classification, the commune lies within the Monts d'Arrée zone, marked by cold winters, mild summers, and heavy precipitation.[6]
