Vitality score
Vitality score 92.5/100 — Well served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 26 % of the 23 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
An average of 30 days a year at or above 30 °C and 1 day at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the NICE-RIMIEZ weather station, 4.8 km away at 238 m; the village itself is at 6 m. [10]
The village sits 232 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 25 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at NICE-RIMIEZ, 4.8 km away at 238 m, over 16 summers. [10]
That station sits 232 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 836 mm of rain a year, spread over 66 days — about 12.7 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at NICE-COL, 2.9 km away at 199 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
