Vitality score
Vitality score 57.5/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 91 % of the 12,780 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 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 26 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the PIERREFITTE CIN_SAPC weather station, 7.3 km away at 187 m; the village itself is at 71 m. [9]
The village sits 116 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]
An average of 806 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 6 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at PIERREFITTE CIN_SAPC, 7.3 km away at 187 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
