Vitality score

Vitality score 19.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 29 % of the 17,947 communes of a similar size.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

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 13 days a year at or above 30 °C and 64 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the LES BOTTEREAUX weather station, 10.6 km away at 212 m; the village itself is at 207 m. [11]

An average of 738 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 5.9 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at LES BARILS, 8.5 km away at 203 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
