Living in Roquefort-la-Bédoule

Roquefort-la-Bédoule has no middle school of its own; its catchment collège averages 10.7/20 in the written brevet exam (French Ministry of Education, brevet : session 2025 pour 99,3 % des collèges notés (IVAC, ministère de l’Éducation)) — a score out of 20, not a pass rate. In France, your child’s state school is assigned by home address (the carte scolaire), so check the exact catchment for a given street.

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.

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.

An annual local tax paid by property owners. Each town votes a rate, applied to a cadastral value set by the tax office — so a low rate does not mean a small bill. The page shows the estimated average amount per home.

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.

The public quality-of-life score, its A–E grades and the thematic rankings score each measure on its actual value, on one scale for all of France (50 = the France level). Size only sorts the rankings (small towns under 10,000 residents, mid-sized towns up to 50,000, large cities above); prices and rents are still compared size for size.
