Vitality score
Vitality score 6.7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 3 % of the 15,840 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.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 33 days a year at or above 30 °C and 60 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the ENTRAYGUES SUR weather station, 5 km away at 292 m; the village itself is at 507 m. [11]
The village sits 215 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]
An average of 1,114 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 9.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at ENTRAYGUES SUR, 5 km away at 292 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
