Vitality score

Vitality score 40.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 79 % of the 16,802 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 19 days a year at or above 30 °C and 25 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the DUSSAC weather station, 15.7 km away at 335 m; the village itself is at 132 m. ^[11]

The village sits 203 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 7 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at DUSSAC, 15.7 km away at 335 m, over 11 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 203 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 926 mm of rain a year, spread over 121 days — about 7.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at THENON-MAN, 14.4 km away at 270 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

88 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 120,000 € — 916 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Dordogne is 1,186 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[12]

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.
