Vitality score
Vitality score 62.6/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 85 % of the 4,476 communes of a similar size.
Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.
Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Market and village life
Weekly market (reported, unverified): Wednesday, Saturday 7h30 à 13h Sous les halles / Place du Champ de Foire. [5,6]

GP (Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne): 0.2 km to the west (straight line). [10]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 36 days a year at or above 30 °C and 49 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the BANEINS weather station, 4.1 km away at 242 m; the village itself is at 225 m. [11]
An average of 869 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at BANEINS, 4.1 km away at 242 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
183 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 300,000 € — 2,499 € per m² of built surface. [12]
199 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 157,000 € — 2,242 € per m². [12]
The median across Ain is 2,288 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [12]
These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.
Uncertainties
Two sources name market days with none in common. They may be separate markets in the same commune, or one may be out of date — all days are listed and none is treated as confirmed. [5,6]
