Vitality score
Vitality score 19.7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 64 % of the 15,366 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 19 days a year at or above 30 °C and 14 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the ST BENOIT weather station, 9.8 km away at 601 m; the village itself is at 366 m. [12]
The village sits 235 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. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at ST BENOIT, 9.8 km away at 601 m, over 16 summers. [12]
That station sits 235 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 872 mm of rain a year, spread over 113 days — about 7.7 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at ST BENOIT, 9.8 km away at 601 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Val de Lambronne's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
