Vitality score
Vitality score 11.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 40 % of the 10,230 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 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 118 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MONTCLAR_SAPC weather station, 12.6 km away at 1,197 m; the village itself is at 1,115 m. [10]
The village sits 82 m below 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. [10]
An average of 766 mm of rain a year, spread over 81 days — about 9.5 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ROUSSET, 8.1 km away at 675 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
