Vitality score
Vitality score 68.2/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 80 % of the 1,651 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 7 days a year at or above 30 °C and 35 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the LE QUIOU weather station, 12.5 km away at 20 m; the village itself is at 76 m. [10]
The village sits 56 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
An average of 819 mm of rain a year, spread over 134 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LANVALLAY, 2.7 km away at 81 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
