Vitality score
Vitality score 47.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 79 % of the 14,114 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 29 days a year at or above 30 °C and 82 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the SAIGNES weather station, 8.7 km away at 533 m; the village itself is at 497 m. [10]
An average of 1,142 mm of rain a year, spread over 137 days — about 8.3 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at CHAMPS.TARENTAI, 0.4 km away at 501 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
91 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 82,000 € — 833 € per m² of built surface. [11]
8 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 62,500 € — 721 € per m². [11]
The median across Cantal is 1,059 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]
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.
Uncertainties
The market day comes from DATAtourisme and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]
