Vitality score

Vitality score 16.7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 45 % of the 16,166 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

An average of 28 days a year at or above 30 °C and 58 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the LIGNIERES weather station, 7.4 km away at 191 m; the village itself is at 168 m. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 6 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at MAISONNAIS, 12.8 km away at 219 m, over 15 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 51 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 769 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at LIGNIERES, 7.4 km away at 191 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

19 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 55,000 € — 588 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Cher is 956 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[13]

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.
