Vitality score
Vitality score 16.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 61 % of the 13,055 communes of a similar size.

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. [10]
Measured at the AUDIGNY weather station, 7.8 km away at 150 m; the village itself is at 92 m. [10]
The village sits 58 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. [10]
An average of 848 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at GUISE, 4.9 km away at 95 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
