Vitality score

Vitality score 26.5/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 38 % of the 16,747 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.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 13.7

Days at or below 0 °C 55.7

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 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 56 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the LES BOTTEREAUX weather station, 6.4 km away at 212 m; the village itself is at 162 m. ^[11]

The village sits 50 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[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 BOTTEREAUX, 6.4 km away at 212 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
