Vitality score

Confidence: high.

Better served than 74 % of the 16,069 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.

Climate

An average of 33 days a year at or above 30 °C and 57 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[13]

Measured at the MONTLAUR weather station, 11.9 km away at 374 m; the village itself is at 433 m. ^[13]

The village sits 59 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. ^[13]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[13]

Humidity measured at MONTLAUR, 11.9 km away at 374 m, over 23 summers. ^[13]

That station sits 59 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[13]

An average of 1,017 mm of rain a year, spread over 103 days — about 9.9 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at ST BEAULIZE, 10.1 km away at 531 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]

What property sold for

25 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 75,000 € — 1,087 € per m² of built surface. ^[14]

The median across Aveyron is 1,239 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[14]

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.
