Vitality score

Vitality score 39/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 88 % of the 18,035 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. [12]

Measured at the LE QUIOU weather station, 0.7 km away at 20 m; the village itself is at 24 m. [12]

An average of 767 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 6 mm on a day it rains. [12]

Rainfall measured at LE QUIOU, 0.7 km away at 20 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
