Vitality score
Vitality score 36.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 44 % of the 12,952 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 19 days a year at or above 30 °C and 69 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the MESSIMY weather station, 11 km away at 179 m; the village itself is at 236 m. [11]
The village sits 57 m above 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. [11]
An average of 875 mm of rain a year, spread over 113 days — about 7.7 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at CIVRIEUX, 7.3 km away at 294 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
