Vitality score
Vitality score 49.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 78 % of the 12,702 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.

Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Troche): 5.9 km to the west (straight line). [9]
Food shop (Vigeois): 0 km to the north-west (straight line). [10]
GP (Vigeois): 0.3 km to the north-east (straight line). [10]
Pharmacy (Uzerche): 6.5 km to the north-east (straight line). [11]
Primary school (Vigeois): 0 km to the east (straight line). [10]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 30 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the UZERCHE weather station, 4.5 km away at 422 m; the village itself is at 312 m. [12]
The village sits 110 m below 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. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at UZERCHE, 4.5 km away at 422 m, over 28 summers. [12]
That station sits 110 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 1,107 mm of rain a year, spread over 133 days — about 8.3 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at UZERCHE, 4.5 km away at 422 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
102 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 112,544 € — 1,097 € per m² of built surface. [13]
8 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 136,163 € — 789 € per m². [13]
The median across Corrèze is 1,106 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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.

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Vigeois's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
