Vitality score

Vitality score 51.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)).

Better served than 55 % of the 5,924 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

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 31 days a year at or above 30 °C and 56 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]

Measured at the LA TOUR BLANCHE weather station, 15.9 km away at 150 m; the village itself is at 143 m. [13]

An average of 941 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. [13]

Rainfall measured at BRANTOME, 0.8 km away at 129 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]

Uncertainties

sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)

Two sources name market days with none in common. They may be separate markets in the same commune, or one may be out of date — all days are listed and none is treated as confirmed. [6,7]
