But some of these rankings are based on very mysterious criteria … This does not seem to be the case with the rankings that the site has just published Villedereve.fr. The startup “Dream City”, created in 2023 by Jérôme Devouge, uses no less than 900 indicators, from more than 130 sources and datasets.

Annecy at the top of the national ranking

The 2025 prize list of towns and villages where life is good at the head Annecyin Haute-Savoie, which is ahead of Versailles (Yvelines) and Besançon (Doubs). At least for the “large and medium -sized cities” category. The winning third for the “small towns” is made up of Guérande, Saint-Médard-en-Jalles and Lamballe-Armor. Finally, concerning the “villages and hamlets”, it is on the side of Kaysersberg, Thônes and Bezins-Garraux that must be turned.

And the cities of the Oise, in all this? Well, they are not ridiculous at all. Senlis ranks 23rd out of 1.482 among the best small towns, with very good leisure, sport, dynamism and management of natural and technological risks. Compiègne ranks 91ᵉ and Gouvieux 161ᵉ.

Gerberoy was on his side 187ᵉ out of 14,487 among villages and hamlets, with excellent notes in natural and technological risk management, citizenship and climate projected in 2050.

900 indicators are taken into account

The dream city classification now takes into account the traffic jamsthe presence of Pfas (eternal pollutants), cities service by long -distance coaches, local taxes and remarkable heritage sites. Over 40 datasets have also been updated. “With nearly 900 indicators for each of the 35,000 French municipalities, this is the most precise and exhaustive classification of cities in France,” said its designers.

City of Dream uses these 900 data to calculate 19 thematic scores (quality of life, health, security, access to nature, etc.) and finally, a general score by city. The charts are entirely dependent on the wishes expressed by users: there are as many rankings as people.

Several rankings are possible

“My wife and I want to leave Paris for some time, but without any particular attachment, we do not know where to move,” smiles Jérôme Devouge. Dream city was created for that. A small sports town with good colleges within 1:30 am Paris? An average city near the sea, very dynamic, less than 3000 € / m², with professional opportunities and alongside grandparents? Or a magnificent village in the middle of a green setting, but out of climate change and with good health infrastructure? These are all very specific records generated and displayed in a few seconds in dream city. With pretty discoveries of nuggets!
