Vitality score

Vitality score 51/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 76 % of the 10,296 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.

Where this sits nationally

An average of 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 32 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]

Measured at the LE QUIOU weather station, 4.9 km away at 20 m; the village itself is at 58 m. [9]

An average of 767 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 6 mm on a day it rains. [9]
