Vitality score

Vitality score 55/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 95 % of the 16,523 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 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 63 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the CHAMBERET weather station, 16.3 km away at 444 m; the village itself is at 507 m. ^[11]

The village sits 63 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °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 UZERCHE, 16.4 km away at 422 m, over 28 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 85 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,188 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 8.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at MASSERET, 0.3 km away at 490 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
