Vitality score
Vitality score 17.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 24 % of the 17,920 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 49 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the AUDIGNY weather station, 10.9 km away at 150 m; the village itself is at 91 m. [12]
The village sits 59 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [12]
An average of 740 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 5.6 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at ORIGNY-STE-BENO, 3.6 km away at 75 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
