In late 2024 the town made the news when Roger Thiberville, a meteorologist in Paris who had inherited a large family property portfolio, left the town almost all of his €10m fortune in his will. His only apparent connection to the town was from his family name, having never even visited himself. The sum represented about five times the annual town budget, and his only request was for his ashes to be placed in the town cemetery.[3][4]
