Vitality score
Vitality score 58.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 78 % of the 5,813 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.

Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Beaulieu-sur-Mer): 0.2 km to the south-west (straight line). [9]
Food shop (Beaulieu-sur-Mer): 0.2 km to the south-west (straight line). [9]
GP (Beaulieu-sur-Mer): 0.2 km to the west (straight line). [9]

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 0 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the CAP FERRAT weather station, 2.6 km away at 138 m; the village itself is at 3 m. [10]
The village sits 135 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]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 43 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at CAP FERRAT, 2.6 km away at 138 m, over 11 summers. [10]
That station sits 135 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 649 mm of rain a year, spread over 58 days — about 11.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at CAP FERRAT, 2.6 km away at 138 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
30 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 2,070,000 € — 11,181 € per m² of built surface. [11]
602 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 399,500 € — 7,312 € per m². [11]
The median across Alpes-Maritimes is 4,054 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [11]
These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Beaulieu-sur-Mer's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
