Climate

Measured at the TARASCON SUR AR weather station, 6.4 km away at 475 m; the village itself is at 601 m. ^[11]

The village sits 126 m above 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]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at ASTON, 11.7 km away at 1,781 m, over 20 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 1,180 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 803 mm of rain a year, spread over 108 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at TARASCON SUR AR, 6.4 km away at 475 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

23 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 70,400 € — 930 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Ariège is 1,295 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[12]

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.
