Better served than 67 % of the 15,694 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

An average of 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 73 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the AUBENTON weather station, 3.4 km away at 177 m; the village itself is at 170 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at CLAIRFONTAINE, 18.9 km away at 225 m, over 12 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 55 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 996 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at AUBENTON, 3.4 km away at 177 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
