Vitality score

Confidence: high.

Better served than 45 % of the 12,255 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.

Climate

An average of 26 days a year at or above 30 °C and 85 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the SAIGNES weather station, 9.1 km away at 533 m; the village itself is at 593 m. ^[11]

The village sits 60 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]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at MAURIAC, 13.5 km away at 674 m, over 29 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 81 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[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, 9.1 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

9 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 34,000 € — 508 € 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.
