Vitality score
Vitality score 9.4/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 40 % of the 3,513 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
An average of 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 49 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the BURE LES TEMPLIERS_SAPC weather station, 13.2 km away at 461 m; the village itself is at 404 m. [13]
The village sits 57 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [13]
An average of 1,011 mm of rain a year, spread over 150 days — about 6.7 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at ECHALOT, 8.1 km away at 440 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]
What property sold for
No price figures: fewer than five comparable sales were registered here between 2021 and 2025. A median of two sales is not a median. [14]
