Vitality score
Vitality score 48.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 77 % of the 12,988 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
An average of 40 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 MARSANNE weather station, 0.2 km away at 280 m; the village itself is at 261 m. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at PUY-ST-MARTIN, 8.7 km away at 211 m, over 24 summers. [12]
That station sits 50 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 955 mm of rain a year, spread over 89 days — about 10.7 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at MARSANNE, 0.2 km away at 280 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]

…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 Marsanne'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.
