Vitality score
Vitality score 26.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 53 % of the 17,933 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 37 days a year at or above 30 °C and 68 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MONTEILS weather station, 9.1 km away at 268 m; the village itself is at 381 m. [10]
The village sits 113 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. [10]
An average of 878 mm of rain a year, spread over 115 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at MONTEILS, 9.1 km away at 268 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
