Vitality score

Vitality score 45.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 53 % of the 8,388 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

Days at or above 30 °C 9.4

Days at or below 0 °C 41.9

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 42 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[13]

Measured at the LISIEUX_SAPC weather station, 11.4 km away at 62 m; the village itself is at 84 m. ^[13]

An average of 837 mm of rain a year, spread over 139 days — about 6 mm on a day it rains. ^[13]

Rainfall measured at CERNAY, 6.8 km away at 182 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[13]
