Recent agricultural use within ~100 m: Permanent pasture (2024).
Soil can vary significantly within 100 m. For vegetable growing, a local soil test (pH, organic matter, NPK, and heavy metals if the site borders a road or former vineyard or orchard) typically costs €50 to €150 at a French agronomy lab such as Auréa, LCA, or SADEF. We recommend one before planting edibles.

Renovation constraint
A protected monument perimeter (Deux fontaines ; Eglise Saint-Michel ; Presbytère) exists in this commune. Confirm whether this specific parcel sits inside it. If it does, visible exterior changes (windows, roof, facade materials) need approval from the Architecte des Bâtiments de France (ABF), typically adding 2 to 6 months. Verify with the mairie.

Wealth tax kicks in above €1.3M
If your French property (or properties combined) is worth more than €1.3M on 1 January, France charges an annual wealth tax of 0.5% to 1.5% on the amount above that. Foreign owners only count their French property, not assets elsewhere.
