Confidence: high.
Better served than 37 % of the 13,529 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 36 days a year at or above 30 °C and 39 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the BANEINS weather station, 15 km away at 242 m; the village itself is at 180 m. [12]
The village sits 62 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [12]
An average of 918 mm of rain a year, spread over 118 days — about 7.8 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at BAGE, 8.8 km away at 230 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]
