Better served than 3 % of the 4,658 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.

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at MONTPEZAT SA, 7.7 km away at 602 m, over 17 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 239 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 1,875 mm of rain a year, spread over 109 days — about 17.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at PEREYRES, 1.4 km away at 952 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

6 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 73,500 € — 1,439 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

The median across Ardèche is 1,839 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
