Vitality score

Vitality score 87.3/100 — Well served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 70 % of the 262 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.

Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 35 days a year at or above 30 °C and 1 day at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]

Measured at the ANTIBES-GAROUPE weather station, 1.9 km away at 75 m; the village itself is at 11 m. [12]

The village sits 64 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. [12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 30 days a summer. [12]

Humidity measured at VALBONNE-SOPHIA, 9.3 km away at 238 m, over 29 summers. [12]

That station sits 227 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]

An average of 781 mm of rain a year, spread over 61 days — about 12.8 mm on a day it rains. [12]

Rainfall measured at ANTIBES-GAROUPE, 1.9 km away at 75 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
