A few French terms, explained
Price per m² (DVF)
French property is priced per square metre. DVF is the government’s open dataset of actual recorded sale prices, so these are real transactions, not asking prices.
School catchment (carte scolaire)
State primary and middle schools are assigned by home address, not chosen freely. Your street determines the school. Private schools are not bound by the catchment map.
Property tax (taxe foncière)
An annual local tax paid by property owners, set as a rate by each town — a real difference in running costs between otherwise similar communes.
Brevet & bac
The brevet is the exam at the end of middle school (age ~15); the bac is the end-of-high-school exam (age ~18). Pass and distinction rates are common quality proxies.
Compared to similar-sized towns
Every score compares a commune to others of its own size — a village against villages, a city against cities — so a small safe town isn’t unfairly ranked against a big city.
