Vitality score

Vitality score 28.6/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 65 % of the 18,072 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

An average of 49 days a year at or above 30 °C and 31 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the LANAS SYN weather station, 3 km away at 265 m; the village itself is at 154 m. ^[10]

The village sits 111 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °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 2 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at LANAS SYN, 3 km away at 265 m, over 29 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 111 m above 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 1,056 mm of rain a year, spread over 80 days — about 13.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at LANAS SYN, 3 km away at 265 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

16 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 262,405 € — 2,345 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

The median across Ardèche is 1,839 € 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.
