Vitality score

Vitality score 55.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 88 % of the 13,280 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.

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

In the commune Bakery, Food shop, Primary school, GP Pharmacy — 6.5 km NW Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Cénac-et-Saint-Julien): 0.2 km to the south (straight line). ^[9]

Food shop (Cénac-et-Saint-Julien): 0.1 km to the north (straight line). ^[9]

GP (Cénac-et-Saint-Julien): 0.2 km to the south-east (straight line). ^[9]

Pharmacy (Beynac-et-Cazenac): 6.5 km to the north-west (straight line). ^[10]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 36.2

Days at or below 0 °C 34.3

Muggy days a summer 1.8

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 36 days a year at or above 30 °C and 34 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the SARLAT weather station, 11 km away at 203 m; the village itself is at 73 m. ^[11]

The village sits 130 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at SARLAT, 11 km away at 203 m, over 13 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 130 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 834 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at DOMME, 1.3 km away at 165 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

…and in much the same climate

The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Cénac-et-Saint-Julien's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
