Vitality score
Vitality score 18.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 95 % of the 2,079 communes of a similar size.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 85 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the CARCANIERES weather station, 5.1 km away at 1,360 m; the village itself is at 1,165 m. [11]
The village sits 195 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
An average of 945 mm of rain a year, spread over 115 days — about 8.2 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at CARCANIERES, 5.1 km away at 1,360 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
