Vitality score
Vitality score 40.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 53 % of the 11,979 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 16 days a year at or above 30 °C and 59 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the ROMILLY weather station, 10.3 km away at 77 m; the village itself is at 80 m. [9]
An average of 693 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 5.7 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at MERY-SUR-SEINE, 0.4 km away at 81 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
What property sold for
84 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 123,250 € — 1,215 € per m² of built surface. [10]
The median across Aube is 1,324 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [10]
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.
