Vitality score

Vitality score 40.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 79 % of the 16,756 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 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 45 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the ST-CHRISTOPHE-L_SAPC weather station, 10.3 km away at 452 m; the village itself is at 401 m. ^[12]

The village sits 51 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at ROMANS_SAPC, 16.7 km away at 156 m, over 23 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 245 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 982 mm of rain a year, spread over 108 days — about 9.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at ST-CHRISTOPHE-L_SAPC, 10.3 km away at 452 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
