Vitality score

Confidence: high.

Better served than 29 % of the 17,996 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

An average of 35 days a year at or above 30 °C and 35 days at or below 0 °C, over 16 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[9]

Measured at the SARLAT weather station, 10.6 km away at 203 m; the village itself is at 91 m. ^[9]

The village sits 112 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. ^[9]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[9]

Humidity measured at SARLAT, 10.6 km away at 203 m, over 13 summers. ^[9]

That station sits 112 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[9]

An average of 834 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. ^[9]

Rainfall measured at DOMME, 9.2 km away at 165 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[9]

What property sold for

38 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 270,000 € — 1,631 € per m² of built surface. ^[10]

The median across Dordogne is 1,186 € per m², so this commune sits above it. ^[10]

These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.
