Vitality score

Vitality score 4.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 2 % of the 11,611 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

Days at or above 30 °C 19.2

Days at or below 0 °C 96.9▸

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 19 days a year at or above 30 °C and 97 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the SAIGNES weather station, 5.1 km away at 533 m; the village itself is at 739 m. ^[11]

The village sits 206 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[11]

An average of 984 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 7.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at SAIGNES, 5.1 km away at 533 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

7 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 109,300 € — 833 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Cantal is 1,059 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[12]

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.
