Vitality score

Vitality score 10.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 32 % of the 9,787 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

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 9 days a year at or above 30 °C and 95 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the BUGEAT weather station, 10.6 km away at 694 m; the village itself is at 672 m. [11]

An average of 1,555 mm of rain a year, spread over 146 days — about 10.7 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at ST YRIEIX, 7.3 km away at 748 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
