Confidence: high.
Better served than 43 % of the 10,519 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 33 days a year at or above 30 °C and 133 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the BEVONS weather station, 15.7 km away at 520 m; the village itself is at 888 m. [11]
The village sits 368 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.21 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
An average of 1,022 mm of rain a year, spread over 82 days — about 12.5 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at LARDIERS, 4.1 km away at 747 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
