Vitality score
Vitality score 15.1/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 35 % of the 16,448 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 24 days a year at or above 30 °C and 32 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the QUINS weather station, 12.7 km away at 607 m; the village itself is at 354 m. [12]
The village sits 253 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]
An average of 955 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 7.9 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at CENTRES, 5.6 km away at 500 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
